Preschool Beach Theme – Recycled Jellyfish
As part of our preschool beach theme – recycled jellyfish were a big hit! Recycle your plastic grocery bags and plastic bottles when you and your children make these lifelike jellyfish.
You’ll need:
White plastic bag, plastic bottle, thread or string, scissors, food color, water to fill your bottle, hot glue gun or duct tape. This is posted with child care teachers and children in mind, but this would be fun for kids at home too. We watched this video while we made these. Enjoy!
Start with a white plastic bag.
Cut into two squares. You’ll have enough to make two jellyfish.
Work on one square at a time.
Bunch up the center and tie it off with white thread or string.
Cut strips for tendrils.
Looks like a halloween ghost.
Put it into a clear plastic bottle of your choice.
Add water mixed with blue food color.
Put the lid on tight, many teachers hot glue the lid or use duct tape to keep it shut.
