One of the most marvelous things about children is the sheer limitless of their imagination. In this issue, we join Ms. Poppy Thompson from the British School of Beijing, Sanlitun (BSB Sanlitun), and four Reception years students – Neve Davies, Natalia Lopez Andrade, Jonah Lui, and Isaac Liaqat – for a fun paper plate jellyfish craft.
What You’ll Need
- Paper plate
- Markers
- Glue
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Colored paper
Step 1:
Cut the paper plate in half. You can either go wiggly or keep it straight.
Step 2:
Apply glue across the back of the plate so you can glue your ribbons, aka the tentacles.
Step 3:
Cut strips of ribbon and attach them to the back.
Step 4:
Once your ribbons are attached you can paint and decorate your jellyfish.
Step 5:
On a white piece of paper draw two circles for the eyes and cut them out.
Step 6:
Draw in the pupils with a marker and glue them to your jellyfish.
