Make Fishing Stylish with a DIY Pink Tackle Box

05.11.2018 by Marie // Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post from Charlie Tractor™. All ideas, projects, and opinions are my own.

Fishing is a great frugal activity for families. Once you have the tools, you can do it practically for free. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find fun, feminine fishing supplies which can turn girls off of the activity. A DIY pink tackle box is a great way to make fishing fun and stylish for your daughter, too.

I admit that fishing has never been one of my faves. My biological father made fishing trips unbearable for me. Eventually I stopped asking to be included.

Luckily, my kids have been exposed to it and love it because of our wonderful family and friends. If your children haven’t been fishing yet, it is definitely a frugal hobby to look into. Help get them excited about the new adventure with Charlie Tractor and the Big Fish.

 

Charlie Tractor and the Big Fish Book

Charlie Tractor and the Big Fish

This book is great for teaching kids what to expect on their fishing trip. Charlie doesn’t catch a fish right away and the activity gets a bit boring for him. Luckily his grandpa is patient and kind, 2 things every kids heeds to encourage new activities.

 

Inside Pages of Charlie Tractor and the Big Fish Book

“Charlie Tractor loves visiting Grandma and Grandpa on their farm! He loves riding on tractors, having picnics, and fishing with Grandpa and his dog Pickles. Sometimes, though, the fish don’t want to be caught. What will Charlie and Grandpa do?” – Press Release, Mascot Books

First Coat of Pink Paint on Tackle Box

Step 1

Start by placing your tackle box, with the handle up, on a safe surface and cover with a coat of pink spray paint.

Note:

  • Use the paint and primer in one paint so you do not have to prime your tackle box before painting.

Allow your paint to dry completely before moving on to step 3.

Step 3

After your paint has dried, flip your box over and cover the bottom with a coat of paint as well. (Excuse the yellow block in the center… I’m blocking out my child’s name.)

Tip:

Step 7

Next, wrap your ribbon around the handle, gluing as needed to secure.

Tips for Taking Kids Fishing

Luckily my poor experiences growing up are useful. My biological father taught me exactly what not to do when teaching your kids to fish. That means I can make it easier for you!

Don’t expect silence.

  • This was a big way that I was affected by my fishing trips. Kids are not made to sit still and be quiet for hours on end. Don’t expect that of them.

Bring Additional Activities

  • Watching a pole with no bites on it gets boring fast. Prepare for boredom with activities that you can easily whip out during fishing. Coloring books, bubbles, and a ball are all great items to have on hand.

Bring Snacks

  • This is an absolute necessity. Kids get cranky when they don’t eat. If they start getting bored this is amped up to critical levels. Take plenty of snacks and drinks to settle little tummies with a big appetite.
