Cut your paper plate in half. You only need one side of your paper plate.
Allow your child to paint the entire front of the paper plate any color they desire. You can be jellyfish specific or let them use their imagination.
Allow the paint to dry for just a bit.

While your paint is drying, go ahead and begin cutting the streamers. If you have older children allow them to cut their own, it makes great fine motor skills practice. For little ones go ahead and help them out.
You want to cut your streamers in half longways. I cut my girl’s streamers almost as long as their arms, using 4 streamers, then cutting them in half. You should have 8 pieces of long thin streamers.
Now that your paper plate paint is dried, flip it over to attach your streamers.
Add one dot of craft glue on each streamer and glue.

Time to create your Jelly Fish face. This is just optional, my girls have to have a face for every craft they make. Especially animals.
Glue down google eyes and with a black marker have your child draw a mouth if they wish.
Now your Paper Plate Jelly Fish is ready to hang in your home and welcome the beach days to come!
