A 24-month-old kept hold of the reel rod and practiced naming fish, fruit, and vegetable pieces. Verdict: It felt a little early, but the child enjoyed it in their own way. ## Good to know - **Fishing pieces**: 58 total - **Fishing rods**: Reel rod and standard rod - **Nets**: 3 total - **Included items**: Air mat, nets, reel rod, standard rod, basket, hand pump, and more *Prices as written by the tester on Oct 26, 2019 · not updated automatically* ![Fishing play product for a 24-month-old](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-01-clwhb-966.webp) ![Introducing fishing play for a toddler](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-02-1lfhd-966.webp) ## Why I started fishing play with my 24-month-old As my baby grows, I think finding toys that suit each stage of development is one of a mom's important missions (?). Fishing play was something I had always wanted to let my child try, so I decided to give it a go after the second birthday. Until now, I thought my child would be too young to play with it properly, but it seems just right as a toy for a 24-month-old. ![Fishing play toy for a 24-month-old](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-03-52nvq-1200.webp) ![Kkoma Fishing King fishing play set](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-04-r4t87-966.webp) The product I tried was the Kkoma Fishing King magnetic fishing play set. It comes with colorful little sea friends that children are likely to find interesting, so I thought it would be nice for learning, too. ![Colorful sea-creature fishing pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-05-1k3ep-966.webp) ## What's included with Kkoma Fishing King? ![Fishing play set components](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-06-h4i3j-966.webp) Besides the main sea-creature pieces, the set includes an air mat, nets, a reel rod, a standard rod, a basket, and a hand pump. I was happy with the selection—it has everything needed for play. ![Generous selection of fishing pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-07-8yt4m-966.webp) There are 58 fishing pieces in total, which is plenty. Even if a few go missing, I think there would still be no problem playing with it. ![58 fishing pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-08-1l5em-966.webp) ![Fishing pieces and play set](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-09-z3xqo-936.webp) ## Why my child preferred the reel rod The set comes with a reel rod and a standard rod, and my child preferred the reel rod. Even without actually turning the reel to fish, I guess the reel rod just looked better to my child. ![Reel rod and standard fishing rod](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-10-us9ky-966.webp) ![Reel rod popular with the child](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-11-us9ky-966.webp) ![Magnetic fishing-rod play](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-12-us9ky-966.webp) The sea creatures have screws set into their bodies, and the magnet in the fishing rod pulls onto those screws to catch them. This product is said to have earned KC certification, so it felt reassuring to let my child play with it. ![Sea-creature fishing pieces caught by magnet](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-13-11hdd-966.webp) ## Making a play space with the air mat and hand pump ![Air mat and hand pump included](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-14-4ofk2-966.webp) ![Air mat for fishing play](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-15-avtlg-966.webp) Because the air mat and hand pump are included, you can make an inflatable mat for fishing play on the spot. Fill it up with the hand pump and you have a firm air mat. It is just the right size for a 24-month-old's toy. The pump looks small, but once I tried it, it worked very well. ![Air mat inflated with the hand pump](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-16-1ods4-966.webp) Once fishing play started, my child held onto the reel rod and would not let go. I asked whether Mom could have a turn too, but the answer that came back was only “no.” ![Child playing while holding the reel rod](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-17-tem9q-966.webp) ## More play with sea creatures and nets I released the sea creatures onto the fully inflated air mat and started fishing play. The mat itself is hot pink, and the little sea friends are truly so colorful. ![Sea-creature fishing play on the air mat](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-18-ajdx0-966.webp) There are three nets included as well, and my child also had fun playing at catching fish with the nets. ![Playing at catching fish with a net](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-19-1luvy-966.webp) This mom, who has fantasies about fishing play, joined in fishing for fish with the standard rod. The magnet was quite strong, so catching the fish was not difficult. ![Catching fish with the standard rod](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-20-1pzi6-966.webp) ## Playing together while teaching names Besides fish, there are various sea creatures such as seahorses, crabs, and squid, so it was nice to play while teaching their names. Of course, my child did not remember everything I taught right away, but after hearing the names a few times, my child definitely recognized them at some point. ![Playtime teaching sea-creature names](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-21-9r33v-966.webp) ![Learning play with sea-creature fishing pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-22-xpuqe-966.webp) There are also fruits and vegetables mixed in here and there, including carrots, peanuts, corn, and grapes, and my child had fun finding those too. My child has been especially fond of grapes lately, so was very happy to see the grape piece. ![Fruit and vegetable fishing pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-23-nwigj-966.webp) ![Fishing play finding the grape piece](https://img.superchart.com/images/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play-24-nwigj-966.webp) My child still does not clearly understand the principle (?) of fishing play, but kept having fun and following along as Mom explained it. I thought my child might play with it in a completely different way, but instead followed Mom, caught fish, and even tried saying their names. It feels a little early for a toy for a 24-month-old, but my child had fun with it in their own way. They say the best baby items are the ones you buy early and get plenty of use from, so although it may be a bit early, I am very satisfied that I got this fishing play set. ## Products - Kkoma Fishing King magnetic fishing play set, 58 pieces — Kkoma Fishing King --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sidewalk-handprints/magnetic-fishing-toy-toddler-play/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
