I always find jellyfish beautiful to look at. But don't make their colorful appearance fool you, jellyfish can accidentally sting you when you accidentally touch them. This sting can be very painful and dangerous. Jellyfish are found in basically every ocean worldwide.
There are so much jellyfish themed crafts out there for children. The most simple one I have every made is from a white plastic bag and crepe paper. But you can alternate the plastic bag with construction paper or a paper/plastic bowl which is safer for children.
Start off with a white garbage bag. Crumple up a second garbage bag and stuff it to the bottom of the first bag. This will be the head. So wrap tape around the bag for a neck...it should now look like the first picture above. Next, cut the bottom of the bag into strips. Then either cut out paper eyes (cutting white and black ovals and gluing thing together) or paste large googly eyes to the jellyfish's face. Next, take a piece of string and loop it thru the tape neck...this will be for hanging the windsock. Next you can add glitter, sequins, and other colorful items to the jellyfish. Hang it and watch it blow in the wind.
You start making this jellyfish craft with a paper or plastic bowl. Design the bowl with paint or Sharpie markers and then let dry. With parental supervision, poke a hole in the top of the bowl. Thread a string thru the hole and then tie a knot. Pull the string through and tie a loop for hanging. Then cut strips of colorful tissue paper. Then glue the strips to the center of the inside of the bowl. Also glue googly eyes on the outside of the bowl for its face.

children work to it, but they look cute hanging around.

How to Design a Jellyfish Aquarium - - If you're not using a tank and filter setup that's specifically designed for jellyfish, you'll need to make modifications to make sure your beautiful jellyfish don't turn into soup.

That way you incorporate fun in to learning for an experience your child will never forget.

Craft - -

Jellyfish Craft - -

daughter was hooked. This kids jellyfish craft is made to either hang
from the ceiling or to be carried around by your favorite animal
loving child! This ocean animal craft is simple to make and uses
common house hold materials. Use different colors of tissue paper or
different lengths of streamers for tentacles to add extra interest to
this fun jellyfish craft.

cotton lace these could be dyed! I'd love to see someone try that!

a Hanging Jellyfish - -
As those long, hot days of summer approach, lots of families start
thinking about trips to the beach. Even if you’re staying home
though, you can bring some of the surf to your kindergartner's life
with this artistic craft project. The results are colorful and the
process is fun, but this activity is also educationally beneficial.
The next time you find yourself with a few hours to fill, try making
these “Paper Plate Jellyfish.” Your child will get to use
her creativity, as well as practice her fine motor skills by
painting, taping, and stapling. On top of all that, she'll learn
about the creatures of the sea. This is a great way to spend an
afternoon, and makes for some great decorations, too!
Make
jellyfish! - - Now, it might be a bit of a stretch, but if you squint your eyes
slightly those creatures pictured on the right look like slippery

are! We made them yesterday and it was a really easy and fun
project. And of course my boys are loving their new jellyfish
‘toys’.
Make Some Swishy Jellyfish Arts and Crafts Project Idea - These fetching jellyfish are easy to make, and very popular with kids who love to use sticky tape.

For our second one we used a plastic shopping bag cut into very thin strips.
