4.0 out of 5 stars Fishing Fun, September 26, 2002

This is a good game for a 3 or 4 year old. The suction cup fishing pole is used to pick up cardboard fish. You can play by either matching colors or numbers, so it reniforces color recognition for younger children and number recognition for slightly older kids. It is also a good memory game. My three-year old loves to bring this game on playdates, and she and her friends always enjoy it. The fishing pole works really well- we havent' had any problems with it.
I wouldn't buy this toy for a child over 4, however, as I feel that older children would quickly become bored with it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Suction Cup? Please!, December 25, 2004

They need to revise this game - the idea is good, but the suction cup ruins all the fun! It is hard to catch any fish on that cup, which is also very small. We had to moisten the darn thing to get anything stuck on it, and even then it takes some pressure to get a fish hooked. Returning it back to the store.

My kids, 2.5 and 4.5 love fishing and playing this game. We make up how we are going to play and then Go Fish! It's great to get my 2.5 yr old to push the suction cup down (hand/eye and fine motor) and color recognition. It also works on my 4.5 yr olds number recognition - I may even write a few alphabet letters on them to help with those too. Taking turns is what it's all about at this age - we definately need to work on that! :)
