This coffee filter jellyfish craft for kids is a fun summer craft project.
Coffee Filter Jellyfish Craft for Kids- This cute jellyfish is made with coffee filters and card stock. It is a fun and easy craft to make with your kids.
My youngest son loves sea creatures. His first love is dolphins, but Jellyfish are a close second. He has read numerous books on Jellyfish memorizing the different types. And he insists on spending quite a bit of time studying them when ever we visit an aquarium. So when my friend Erika shared this jellyfish craft with me I knew he would love it.
The coffee filter jellyfish craft is easy to make with a little assistance from an adult. An adult will need to use the hot glue gun, but the rest of the steps can be completed by the child. This summer craft provides cutting practice for those who need to work on their fine motor skills.
If your child enjoys Finding Nemo, they will have fun creating their own little “squishy” friend.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
