Jellyfish Toddler Activiy

You will need a coffee filter, clear plastic cup, markers or pens, tentacles (tissue paper, yarn, wool, string, tulle, ect…), and clear tape.

Start by coloring the coffee filter with pens and or markers. Wet the coffee filter with a few sprinkles, a water spray bottle, or a damp sponge. You can watch the colors blend together. Let the filter dry and while waiting thread some string through the base of the plastic cup so it hangs upside down. Then thread the string through the base of the filter so it hangs upside down and hides the cup. Now, cut long thin streamers of tissue paper (or whatever product you chose to use) and stick them to the base of the cup and filter using the clear tape.

Developmental skills your toddler will be learning include; letter J recognition, fine motor skills including using markers, tape, and threading and lacing practice.

These make a great hanging item from a room and your toddler will enjoy playing with them. For small children, even those 4 and under, we recommend that you prepare all pieces ahead of time.
