So you want to make a cheap, fun craft that doesn't require going to the store and buying supplies? This is simple and perfect for young children. It could be the start of an ocean-themed craft day at home!
Steps
-
Gather the "Things You'll Need" as listed below.
-
Cut strips of the plastic bag and long strings of yarn.
-
Tape one end of each strip to the bottom of the plate, near the center.
-
Tape the yarn to the bottom along the edge.
-
Draw on two big eyes, any color or shape you like. Include eyelashes if you want it to be funny.
-
Enjoy your jellyfish! You might make a few jellyfish and hang them from the ceiling with yarn to create an ocean feel. Coloured cellophane pieces could be dangled in between to look like seaweed and to rustle as your child walks through them.
Tips
- Covering the paper plate in fabric makes it feel soft
- Different colors of plastic look best.
Warnings
- Help children with any cutting required unless they are old enough to handle scissors by themselves.
- Also, children under three years of age should have an adult help them apply the glue so they do not ingest it.
