Tolo funtime fishing

12+ months

·  At bathtime introduce your infant to the three friendly fish and their little worm pal. 

·  Submerge the fish and show your toddler how they blow bubbles underwater. 

·  Show your infant how to hold the fishing line to try to catch a fish with the worm, then wind it in. 

·  You may have to help your younger child hold the rod with one hand, and wind with the other - older toddlers will soon get the hang of it. 

·  Introduce language such as 'float', 'sink', ' catch', 'underwater'.  

·  Introduce basic counting skills by counting the fish together. 

·  Teach your child to take turns with you and have mini fishing competitions. Count how many fish are caught in a set period of time. 

·  You may like to make up simple stories or sing songs about fish to add to your child's bathtime enjoyment. 

·  Be positive and use upbeat language to encourage your toddler and provide a sense of achievement.
