Melissa & DougLet's Explore Outdoor Toy Fishing Set | Pretend Play | Fishing Toy for Kids | 3+ | Gift for Boys or Girls

It’s a good educational toy but I think it’s expensive for what it is, little one played a few times and now the fishing game just sits there.

I was disappointed when I received this item, as it was missing items (the ruler and fishing license, ). This was suppose to be a brand new item and yet it was missing items. I was planning on using this in my classroom so the children could measure the fish, so this is disappointing.

Mi hijo de 4 años ama los peces y este fue un excelente regalo.

Il gioco si presenta molto ben accessoriato e con materiali di ottima qualità, comprerò sicuramente altri kit di questa azienda.

Like everything made by Melissa & Doug, this set is sturdy and durable. As avid real-life fisherman, I appreciate that are much more realistic looking than most other fishing play sets, which come with an odd assortment of goofy looking cartoon fish. My 5 year old recognized the walleye, bass, & northern pike right away, having fished for them many times in real life. He also recognized the catfish from watching fishing tv shows. The only two he didn’t recognize immediately was the salmon and trout … not because they’re any less realistic looking, but because those aren’t fish he has any experience with. He loves fishing so much, and plays with this set almost every day in between real life fishing trips. He even used it as part of his Halloween costume this year! I used a rubber band to attach one of the fish to one of the poles so that it wouldn’t fall off during trick or treating and it held up beautifully. He got lots of compliments on his costume.I love all the little extra touches too — how the poles snap on to the little carrying case, so you don’t have to carry them separately, and how the line actually reels in. The little information booklet is made of a sturdy plastic material that will last forever, and even provides some ideas for games on the back.Overall wonderful set and I look forward to checking out some more of the “outdoorsy” Melissa and Doug sets in the future.
