Coffee filters
Colored cellophane

White construction paper
Crayon or markers
Directions
In advance, lightly paint the coffee filters with blue, green and pink watercolor paint and
let them dry. Pre-cut one-foot strips of colored cellophane, enough for five or six strips
per child. Pre-cut two white circles per child from construction paper for eyes. Glue the
strips of cellophane to the edge of the coffee filter. Glue the eyes to the coffee filter and
color in an iris with crayons or markers. When the children hold the coffee filter by the
middle, they will have a floating jellyfish.
