This Paper Bag Jellyfish Craft is a cute craft that your kids can make with supplies you already have in the house.

This Paper Bag Jellyfish Craft is an easy ocean-themed craft project for kids. The only supplies you need are brown paper lunch bags, cupcake liners, markers, craft paint, and a glue stick.  The only tools you need are scissors and a paintbrush.  This craft project makes a great art project for afternoons at home. Since they are so inexpensive and easy to make, they would make a great activity for classrooms or birthday parties too.

My son has long been interested in sea creatures. He loves reading books about sea animals, watching educational videos, and visiting aquariums. His reading skills far exceed my crafting skills, so I love finding easy arts and craft projects that go along with his interests, but do not exceed my abilities. This paper bag jellyfish craft is a quick and easy project that allows him to be creative without taxing my crafting skills.

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.
