Fishing Center
Prepare a "fishing" center complete with "fishing poles"
and magnetic "fish." You can easily create your own by
attaching a small magnet at the end of the string. The
"fish" can simply be paper clips, or you can tape paper fish
to the paper clips for a more realistic effect. Also include
some non-magnetic items in the fishing pool, along with
some other small magnetic items (these could be the crabs
or turtles of the fishing hole!) and observe the differences
in the items.

| Bible Verse Bracelets: Luke 5:11 "From now on you will catch men" When the fishermen saw the miracle Jesus had done for them, how they'd caught so many fish that their boats nearly sank, they were amazed. They were so convinced that Jesus was the Son of God that they left everything they had to follow Him! |
