Jazzy Jellyfish

You will need:

Clear contact paper

paints

crepe paper streamers

yarn

What you do:

1. First, cut out a circle of clear Con-Tact covering for each child. Make it a fairly large circle.

2. Then peel off the backing to reveal the sticky side. Invite a child to paint with the colors of her choice in the center of the sticky circle, leaving an unpainted edge all around.

3. Next you are going to fold the circle over into a semi-circle. But before you do that place some crepe paper "tentacles" on the edge of one half of the circle. Then fold over the paper to create a semicircle, and press the edges together to seal in the paint. You want to catch the streamers inside the circle.

4. Punch two holes in the top and tie a piece of yarn to hang your creation up.
