Instead of the usual fish, I decided to make different marine animals for my girl to fish. They are so cute yet small enough to bring out with you for your kids to play with when they are bored.

6) Felt Play Scene

Make a play scene for your animals with felt. You can make a river for the crocodiles, a jungle for the monkeys or a sea for the marine animals (such as those in #5). What is a story without the scene right?

Another activity you can make to keep your child busy is this button snake that will train your child's hand-eye coordination as well as instill patience as he/she threads the button ribbon through the felt.
