Skill: art

Materials: paper bowls, precut pieces of colored tissue, yarn, glue, tape, curly ribbon, googly eyes (optional)

• Set out the bowls, colored tissue, and glue. Have kids turn their bowl upside down, cover it with glue, and then decorate it with pieces of tissue.
• With scissors, punch a hole in the bottom of each bowl. Thread the yarn through, make a knot on the inside of the bowl, and tape it in place. This way, kids can hang their jellyfish!
• Give kids curly ribbon. Have them tape the ribbons to the inside of the bowl so they will hang down. These are the tentacles.
• If you like, kids can also glue googly eyes to their jellyfish as a finishing touch!
