Inspired by our recent Bubble Wrap Challenge and our upcoming move to Florida – today I present to YOU our Paper Plate Bubble Wrap Jelly Fish kid craft idea!

Using simple recycled materials like bubble wrap – you too can pull this summer themed idea together within minutes! Then use as decor and/or a pretend piece that any little swimmer will love!

So what are you waiting for? Don’t be “jelly” – let’s JUMP to it and make a one-of-a-kind piece today! Happy crafting the summer away, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Bubble Wrap Jellyfish Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Bubble Wrap
* Stapler
* White Cardstock
* Scissors
* Colorful Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* School Glue

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate in half. Reserve one half for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
* Now have children paint their paper plate half however they like. This is the jellyfish’s body.
* While they are working on that, grab your bubble wrap and cut it into several strips. You can do them as thick as you like and as many as you like.
* While the paint brush is still wet, have children paint one side of their bubble wrap stripes however they like {we did a rainbow theme} Once done, set aside to let them all dry completely.
* When ready, grab your stapler. Staple the bubble wrap “tentacles” to the paper plate half.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Bubble Wrap Jellyfish – cut out/draw two eyes from the white cardstock and glue those to the paper plate. At this point in time you can add other embellishments {like rhinestones, glitter or even feathers} you see fit before displaying your beautiful jellyfish proudly!!!
