Create a magnificent giant jellyfish that floats gracefully through your home! This large-scale ocean friend features cascading ribbons and streamers that dance and sway with every breeze, transforming any room into an underwater wonderland. Using simple supplies like paper plates and colorful ribbons, kids can craft their own mesmerizing sea creature that brings ocean magic indoors!
A 15–30 minutes craft for ages 5–10, using supplies you likely already have — Yarn, Plastic Bags, and White Glue.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.
Create a free GlueStick account to track supplies and see if you have what you need at a glance. Leave your kids tips about where supplies are stored in your household so they can set up and clean up their creative spaces independently.
Using washable markers, color your coffee filters. Place a piece of paper or something else underneath your coffee filters to prevent the markers from bleeding through. We found that three coffee filters looked great along with ribbons and other ruffles. If you're only using coffee filters, we'd recommend coloring 9.
"Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

Check off each supply when it is put away — and any clean-up tips underneath are done too. You might find a fun surprise!
