We bought this for our daughter as part of her one year birthday gift and I have found myself playing with a lot too. I love Melissa and Doug toys especially because they are wooden, so no plastic toxins which is a huge plus. Also they are very durable and provide hours of thinking fun. Our daughter learned quickly how to go fishing on her own. She is able to do both puzzles pretty quickly now that she has the pole under control. We go on nightly fishing dates and have so much fun watching her little brain work and it's great for hand eye coordination. There isn't a Melissa and Doug toy yet that disappoints. This one will definitely continue to get a lot of good use probably for a couple of years. It was way worth the $10 sale price we got it for

I purchased the Melissa and Doug Fishing and Bug Catching set over the holidays to give to my then 20 month old daughter for Christmas. In short, my daughter really enjoys playing these games and has quickly "caught" on how the catch the fish and bugs using the magnetic pole and net. What's really nice about the set is that with a little imagination from the parents, it provides many different opportunities for toddler age children-- hand eye coordination to pick up the pieces, spatial recognition in putting pieces back into place, vocabulary and education if parents what to talk about the different animals or colors or shapes, learning about taking turns with parents, and so forth.

The set is well made, with nice colorful pictures overlaid on wood pieces and board. As one reviewer pointed out, the edges of the pieces are subject to some wear with extended use, but in the end, it's not preventing us from playing the game and my daughter doesn't mind. One of the more frequent complaints is that the spaces where the pieces fit do not have pictures to indicate which fish or bug goes in that location. While I do think that was an unfortunate oversight, we've been using that opportunity to teach our daughter about looking at the shape of the piece and figuring out which space looks like the same shape. She has caught on with time, with some success.

In the end, my daughter loves the game and will request to play it. As with most things at this age, it only holds her attention for 15 to 30 minutes or so, but she continues to come back to it on a regular basis. I suspect she'll outgrow the game in a year or so, but for now, we're happy with the purchase.
