This week's activity is taking your kids fishing! It might sound at first like an activity that's "out of your comfort zone," but really it's not that tough. Just bring rubber gloves if you need to, for handling any fish your kids catch. That makes it a lot easier to remove the fish hooks from their mouths!

Resources for Going Fishing:
Begin to plan your fishing adventure with these resources. Books to Read:
Share these books with your kids during the week to learn more about fishing. Related Crafts:
Plan to do one of these craft activities, too, as you explore this week's theme. Corresponding Meals and Snacks:
Finally, plan at least one meal or snack this week that also relates to the theme. This makes everything you're learning together even more fun!
