Fun Facts About Jellyfish

Before you actually begin with the craft, why not discuss some cool facts about jellyfishes to give your toddler a little back story?

Jellyfishes live in seas and oceans.
They look like umbrellas.
A group of jellyfish is called a bloom. Some blooms have over 100000 jellyfish.
They are usually transparent.
While their name contains the word ‘fish’ they are not actually a type of fish.
Some kinds of jellyfish are so transparent, they aren’t even visible to the human eye.
Jellyfish don’t have brains.
Most of them are harmless, but some types tend to sting, which can be painful.

Supplies For the Seashell Jellyfish Craft

Ready to get started on this seashell jellyfish craft? Here’s everything you need.

How To Make A Jellyfish Activity And Craft

Begin by applying two coats of white (or even blue would work) paint to the shell. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

While the paint dries, you can cut out the jellyfish tail. Using your blue (or even white) craft felt, cut out simple elongated strips. Cut out 7-10 so your jellyfish tail can be nice and full.

Once the white craft paint is dry, you can add the jellyfish tail. Add a dab of glue to the end of each strip and press to the underside of the shell.

Now, add the googly eyes to the shell. A drop of glue on the back of each should hold the eyes on in place.

Your seashell jellyfish is now ready to be displayed!

These craft activities will help your little one explore his creative streak and learn some valuable information about the world around him. You can also team this up with some good books that you can make a part of his bedtime routine. Pop up books are perfect for younger children, since they help bring the magic of the characters in the book to life.
