How to Make a Jellyfish Craft with Preschoolers
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies.
Step 2: Cut the Jellyfish Body
Cut an oval shape from the foam sheet. This will be the body of the jellyfish.
Step 3: Add the Tape
Stick a strip of double-sided tape across the back of the jellyfish body.
Step 4: Cut the Yarn Tentacles
Cut the yarn into short pieces for the tentacles. Use one color or mix a few.
Step 5: Attach the Tentacles and Eyes
Arrange the yarn pieces on the tape so they hang down like flowing tentacles, and press them firmly in place.
Flip the jellyfish over and glue on two googly eyes. For a smile, glue a short piece of fuzzy wire just below the eyes.
All done!
Your wiggly jellyfish is ready to swim!
We'd love to see yours! Snap a photo and share it in the comments.
Fun Variations to Try
Thread colorful beads onto the tentacles and count them as you go, add glitter or sequins to the body, or swap the yarn for pipe cleaners, ribbon or fabric strips for new textures.
