Why I chose the Kkoma Fishing King fishing game
I guess I’ve become a real mom now, because when I buy toys I even consider whether they are educational.. haha. I was looking for something to play with one piece at a time, use for a long time, affordably priced, and with educational benefits too—and that is how I found the Kkoma Fishing King fishing game. Once it arrived and I tried it, I was so pleased with the generous set that I wanted to introduce it.

Used on a living-room mat instead of in water
The instructions say that using it in water may cause rust around the screw parts, so you must remove the water after use, wipe it with a dry towel, and let it dry. That process felt like a hassle to me, so I do not use it in water; I just use it as a toy on the living-room mat.
How generous is the set?
Why is there so much stuff?? Hahaha. There are figures of octopuses, fish, and even eggplants, carrots, corn, and more, plus extra figures; there are two fishing rods, a net, and so on. It is an incredible amount of toddler-toy stuff—so much that I wondered how all of this could come at this price.
Why are they all so cute? ^^ If you play together while children learn the octopus, fish, and each one of the figures, I think it could help them learn words and develop a way of looking at living things.
Just inflate it and playtime is ready
Pump it up like this and it is ready for play! It is easy to set up, and once the air is let out it is easy to carry, so I think it would be nice to take along on a summer trip to a pension.
It is fairly deep, so the toys do not escape and can play safely(?) inside.
Playing magnetic fishing with a young child
They say the Kkoma Fishing King toddler magnetic fishing game stimulates brain nerves and frontal-lobe function, helping children improve concentration. These days, with games and TV, it can be hard to create an environment for building concentration; because children can focus on the single-minded goal of catching one, I think it is a good plaything. And for a child as young as mine, the process of catching each piece may help develop fine motor skills through eye-hand coordination they do not usually use much.
You catch them with magnets! The fish and other figures are made in a variety of colors, which stimulates the cerebrum and may help with brain development too.
The cute fishing rods and bait, hahahahaha. They are surprisingly realistic and sooo cute.
It is pretty fun even when I try it! Catching and observing the various sea creatures stimulates children’s imaginations, so they can have smart playtime at home without necessarily going to an aquarium.
There is even a reel fishing rod, hahaha. The realism, what is this? So cute.
KC certification and a set made for long use
Since it is a toddler toy, you have to look at safety too. The Kkoma Fishing King magnetic fishing game is a product that has received KC certification. You can use it safely and with confidence for children. These are toys our precious children use, so now we should use them without worrying about harmfulness!
Children can learn about a variety of sea creatures, build visual ability through the colorful colors, and because there are so many kinds, they can play on their own for a long time without getting bored.
There is a net too, hahahahahaha. The more I look over every piece, the more I think the maker had amazing sense. It is somehow cute and funny, haha.
Because there are several kinds of tools to use, I think it may also help children learn how to use tools. My baby is 6 months old now and can sit up alone; lately, the baby plays by turning the figures this way and that. In another 3 months, I think the baby will be using the tools to scoop things up.. I am so excited. It is even better because it can be used for a long time, from when they are little through when they grow up.
After use, the pieces can be stored in the basket, so it can build tidying skills too! Grow up quickly. I want to say, “You put away what you played with~” Colorful, my baby’s favorite toy these days! For a toddler toy that is good for fine motor development: the Kkoma Fishing King magnetic fishing game~
