This collection of jellyfish crafts for kids is sure to provide you with all kinds of creative inspiration for your unit on sea life or the ocean! You’ll find jellyfish crafts made from cardboard tubes, paper plates, cupcake liners, and more.

Kids are always fascinated by the ocean and sea life. Learning about sea creatures often initiates all kinds of curious questions and intrigue from children. (If you’re looking for some good literature resources for learning about the ocean, be sure to check out Ocean Animals Book List.)

The jellyfish crafts in this collection make great additions to your unit on ocean life. You can use the finished jellyfish projects to talk about the parts of a jellyfish, for story retelling, for creative play, or to decorate your home or classroom!
