Fishing Toys for Kids We Love Now

For older children ready to partake in real-deal fishing and not just in fish toys, this Lanaak Kids Fishing Pole and Tackle Box has everything to get them started. It includes a 65-inch telescopic fishing rod, a spinning reel, a net, and a 42-piece tackle box, including bobbers, soft lures and hooks, among others.

The rod is reversible for lefties, and the reel comes pre-spooled to get fishing right away. Everything can be stored in the included travel bag and the rod collapses to a compact 17 inches. This is one of the best fishing toys for older kids though—definitely keep it away from babies and toddlers because the hooks are real and very sharp.

It’s a fun segue from magnetic toys to the grown-up rods parents and other caregivers like to use by the beach, lake or river.
