Bamboo Fishing Pole

These child-and fish sale poles are really for attracting fish so lids can get a good look;there is no barbed fishhook. This might be fun to do with the smaller children

Begin with a 4-5 foot stick of sturdy bamboo. Use a 6 foot length of waxed twine for the line. Lay about 3 inches of it along the top of the pole. Holding the twine to the pole, wrap upwards back to top Knot tightly

For a bobber, knot a wooden bead onto the line a foot and and half from the end. Tie a paper clip to the end of the string for your hook;for bait,skewer a piece of firm cheese with the paper clip. Tell kids to keep an eye on the bobber;fish will gather beneath it
