Wooden Hook a Duck Game

Wooden Hook a Duck Game — the fairground classic, in wood

Two magnetic rods, seven numbered wooden ducks and a wooden board: the fairground favourite, made for the living room floor. Plastic-free and made from wood with a smooth, child-friendly finish. For dry, indoor play. Suitable from around 1 year, with supervision.

🦆 Three ways to play

First, the classic: dangle the rod, catch a duck, lift it off the board. Lining a magnet up with a duck takes a steady hand and real patience, which is why it is such good practice. Second, with two rods, a head-to-head game — who can catch the most of the seven ducks? Third, a party game for birthdays and playdates that needs no setting up at all.

The numbers on the ducks come into their own later, when a child starts adding up their catch.

⚠️ Worth knowing before you buy

• It has magnets. Check the rods and ducks regularly and stop using the game if any magnet works loose. Loose magnets must be kept away from small children.
• Not for the bath. It is a wooden toy for dry, indoor play.
• Wood is wipe-clean only. A damp cloth, never a soak.
