A great way to develop vocabulary, identify initial sounds, aid word recognition and assist letter and sound association. Each child uses one of the 4 fishing rods to cast and reel in a lettered fish which is then matched to the activity mat. Each mat is double sided providing two different levels of learning (pictures on one side and pictures and words on the other). The set consists of 4 fishing rods, 32 magnetic pieces and 4 game mats all contained in a storage box that doubles as the ocean.
