Jellyfish Handprint Craft
If your day needs a little sparkle (minus the actual glitter…because no one has time for that cleanup), this jellyfish handprint craft is here to save the day. It’s adorable. It’s scissor-friendly. It’s basically an excuse to trace your kid’s hand and turn it into a floppy little jellyfish that you’ll want to keep forever.
Seriously, this thing is fridge-art gold.
Whether you’re in the middle of an ocean theme, need something to entertain your preschooler for 15 blessed minutes, or just really like sea creatures that can’t sting you, this one’s for you.
