Quick Verdict: Is It Worth Buying?
In this electric music fishing game review, Yes, for kids aged 3 to 6 years. It is not a high-end educational toy, but for Rs. 1200-1600, it offers great value. The rotating board, music, and competition keep kids engaged for 20-30 minutes easily. Just don’t expect very strong plastic – it needs careful handling.
My Real Playing Experience – What Happened at Home
When I opened the box, the board was bigger than I expected – around 12 inches. It needs 2 AA batteries (not included), which I had to buy separately from a nearby shop for Rs. 150. Once switched on, the board starts rotating and all 15 fish start opening and closing their mouths with a fun, slightly loud music.
First day, my nephew Hamza (4 years old) needed help to time his catch. He was missing a lot. By day 2, he learned to wait for the mouth to open fully and then catch. His younger sister (3 years) still struggles but loves collecting the fish in her pink basket.
After 5 days of daily playing:
- The music is still working, but it is a bit repetitive. There is no volume button, so we sometimes put a small tape on the speaker to lower it.
- One fishing rod string tangled – we fixed it easily.
- The board still rotates smoothly. The fish have not broken yet.
What Is Included in The Box? What I Got
- 1 x Electric Rotating Fishing Board (Yellow base, blue pond)
- 15 x Small Colorful Fish (Red, blue, yellow, green)
- 4 x Fishing Rods (2 yellow, 2 green – plastic hooks, no sharp point)
- 4 x Small Fish Collection Baskets
How Does It Actually Work?
- Place all 15 fish in the slots on the rotating board.
- Insert 2 AA batteries and switch ON from the bottom button.
- The board rotates clockwise and fish open and close their mouths.
- Kids use the magnetic fishing rods to catch fish when the mouth is open.
- First one to catch the most fish wins.
Skills and Play Value – Is It Educational?
- Hand-Eye Coordination: To catch a moving fish, kids have to watch and move hand at exact time.
- Focus and Patience: They have to wait for the right moment.
- Fine Motor Skills: Holding the thin rod helps small hand muscles.
- Turn-Taking and Sharing: With 4 rods, 4 kids can play together.
- Counting and Colors: At the end, we count fish and sort by color.
