Try to get the most fish in this classic action packed game
Product Description: The action fishing game where players try for the biggest catch! Each player has a separate fishing pole with plastic bait at the end of the line. As the fish open their mouths, carefully lower your line into the fish's mouth, catching it as it takes the bait! Requires 1 size C battery (not included). For 1 to 4 players.
Editorial Review: The musical Let's Go Fishin' game is a test for the eyes, hands, ears, and patience. As the pond circles the base (to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat") see how many more colorful fish you can catch than your fellow players. The trick is that the fish are moving up and down as they circle, as well opening and closing their mouths. Can you time it just right and bring home dinner? This game for one to four players includes four fishing poles, the musical game base (which can rotate with or without music), 21 colorful fish, and complete instructions. Requires two AA batteries (not included). --Heather Hawkins
Provides wonderful family time fun esp for little ones I think this is a cute little game for families with younger children - my husband and I have had fun with it playing with our 3.5 year old. She has actually mastered holding the fishing rod to pick up the little fish, and enjoys it tremendously when played as a family. We race each other to see who gets the most fish, and she just giggles all the time. It is also a great educational tool - as she learns to count, sort the different colored fish, and also improves her coordination skills. On the whole, this is a value for money toy - it is not exactly super durable - the fish itself are made of cheap quality plastic and the mouth easily pops off - but they are also very easy to put back together so no worries. I think parents of kids below 3 should be careful and supervise when playing with this toy as the fish are small enough to pose a choking hazard, esp if the parts pop off, but otherwise, this is a fun game for the family.
Very Fun for All Family My daughter was given one of these about 15 years ago. Her father and a friend wanted to understand how the mechanics worked. They disassembled the unit and it never worked again. She has mentioned this injustice many, many times over the years. So, for her 27th birthday - she got a brand new and bigger one! She is playing with glee against children of ALL ages!
Fun Even For a Little One My son was two when he got this for Christmas. It says 4 and up on the box,but I thought we'd give it a try. 4 might be the age when they can understand playing it as a game with a winner, but my two-year-old has no problem catching fish on his own.
The first time we took this out of the book, he played it for two solid hours! He loves to catch a fish and then tell you what color he caught and have you catch the same color. We also count them - "How many red fish did you catch? 1-2-3!" He's taken it to all his grandparents' houses and played it with anyone who will. He has played it every single day since Christmas.
I deducted one star because the fish are pretty thin plastic and even though we're careful, it's only a matter of time until we step on one and break it. It doesn't come with any extras. Also, for some reason, the box is really tight around the game and putting the game back in the box can cause the fishes' mouths to pop off (you put them right back on).
Overall, this was one of his favorite toys this Christmas.
fun, fun, fun My 3 and a half year old loves this game. Its not easy but she has found ways around it. I enjoy playing it with her.
Came to us broken!!! I ordered 3 of these games. 2 were sent to the hospital where our 3 year old was being treated for cancer and the other was sent to our haouse. The ones sent to the hospital worked great the kids all enjoyed them . Favotite toys among the 2-5 year olds. The one that came home wouldn't turn on. The metal connectors were rusted and it was an older style game. Possibly used. Not in new condition.
