Moms Morning Memo
Let’s shake things up with a hands-on jellyfish craft that’s sure to spark some creativity and fun! It’s the kind of activity that feels like playtime but sneaks in some great fine motor practice. Plus, it's perfect for turning an ordinary afternoon into something memorable.
Activity of the Day
Papaerclip Jellyfish Craft
Things You'll Need:
Plastic or paper cup
Colorful paperclips
Small screwdriver (adult help needed)
Jingle bells (optional, for extra jingle)
Step-by-Step Process:
Start by letting your little ones make chains out of paperclips. They can mix and match colors to create fun, patterned tentacles. The longer, the better!
While your kids are busy with their paperclip chains, use a screwdriver (this is where grown-ups step in) to poke small holes around the top of the cup. These will be where the paperclip tentacles attach.
Now it's time to turn those paperclip chains into jellyfish tentacles. Help your kids thread them through the holes in the cup. Secure each chain, and watch their excitement as the jellyfish starts to come together.
For a little extra magic, attach a jingle bell to the last paperclip on each chain. Now your jellyfish can jingle along with every breeze.
Why You’ll Love This
This craft is great for developing fine motor skills, especially when linking the paperclips together.
This jellyfish craft is more than just a fun activity—it’s a playful way to spend time together while letting creativity flow.
