Try making your own Jiggly Jolly Jellyfish with a balloon, a clear plastic bag, and some paint. It’s fun and it’s cute!
  What you’ll need:
  • a balloon (any color will do, but a lighter color probably looks best)
  • scissors
  • tape
  • two buttons
  • permanent marker
  • clear plastic bag
  • paint – the brighter colors are the most fun!
  • paint brush
  • large rubber band
  What you do:
  1. Blow a few puffs of air into the balloon and tie it off. This is your wiggly wobbly jellyfish head!
  2. Holding the balloon by the knot, use the permanent marker to draw a cute smiling mouth on your jellyfish.
  3. Glue on the buttons to make his eyes.
  4. You can use your paints to brighten up the jellyfish head, too. Be careful to spread out some newspaper before you start painting!
  5. Cut up your clear plastic bag into long strips, about 6 inches long and 1 ½ inches wide. These will be the “tentacles.”
  6. Paint pretty colors on each of the strips and let them dry.
  7. Turn the strips over and paint the other side as well.
  8. When the paint on the balloon and plastic strips is dry, use the tape to attach the “tentacles” onto the sides of the balloon.
  9. Cut the rubber band, and tie one end around the knot on the balloon. Tie the other end to a hook outside on the porch, or anywhere you think your Wiggly Wobbly Jellyfish would look nice
