For this week's Family Friday you will make some beautiful ocean friends, the jellyfish! Read our step-by-step guide on how to create your very own jellyfish decorations. Have fun with this ocean-themed craft!

What you need:

  • Paper bowls (One jellyfish per bowl)
  • Paint and paintbrush
  • A variety of string
  • Scissors
  • Tape

Step 1

Click here to read the book Jimmy the Jellyfish. You can find this book in your Footsteps2Brilliance app under Level 2 (Yellow) in the Alphabet Animals series.

Step 2

Paint the outside of the bowls any way you would like. You can paint the inside too, but it will be less visible.

Let dry.

Step 3

Cut and gather lengths of string, these will be the tentacles. Find the middle of the strings and tape them down to the inside of the bowl.
