Servings: paper plate jellyfish

Let’s make the body of our jellyfish! Grab a 10-inch paper plate and cut it in half. Using a foam paintbrush, paint the back of each plate with your choice of craft paint. Set aside to dry for at least 10 minutes.
While the body of your jellyfish is drying, make the eyes! Trace a 1 ½ inch oval onto the white construction paper. Repeat this step to create 4 eyes altogether. Using the bottom of the glue stick, trace 4 smaller circles on the blue construction paper to create the pupils. Cut all of the circles out and set your cuttings aside.
Now that the jellyfish are dry, let’s assemble them! Start by using a glue stick to adhere your precut white ovals to the center of your jellyfish for the eyes. Glue the precut blue pupils to the white ovals to complete the eyes. Next, take a black marker and add a jellyfish smile.
For the tentacles, cut the streamers into seven strips, 10 inches in length, and attach them horizontally across the bottom of the plate with a stapler. Once the streamers are secure, cut each one up the center to create movement.
Finally, cut a pipe cleaner in half and staple each end to the top of the paper plate, creating an arch. Now it’s time to hang your jellyfish creation.
