How to Make a Preschool Fishing Pole for Camping

Camping is all about getting out into the great outdoors and experiencing those things that just can't be done in the city. Children get a massive kick out of these experiences and even very young kids will enjoy taking part in outdoors activities. Fishing is a great activity for kids to take part in but there is no need to splash out on fishing equipment for them. Make a simple, easy to use fishing pole yourself.

Instructions

    • 1

      Position the reel of string a few inches from the end of the bamboo cane. Place a screw through the hole in the middle and screw in place. Be sure the point of the screw does not protrude from the other side.

    • 2

      Screw three eyelets into the cane at equal distances apart with one in the far end of the cane. Put them all at 90-degrees from the reel. Again make sure no points protrude.

    • 3

      Run the string from the reel through the eyelets. Pull it all the way out and tie a knot in the string above the last eyelet so the string cannot be pulled back through the eyelets.

      Tie a hook onto the end of the string. Be sure it is not sharp -- blunt the piece if it is. Wrap the handle of the pole in duct tape to prevent splinters.
