Procedure:

Invite students to draw on coffee filters with markers (each jellyfish requires 2 filters). When the child is finished, have them help you spray the filters with water using the spray bottle. When dry, place a few tissues in the center of one of the filters (this will create volume) and glue the other filter on top. Glue streamers onto the bottom to act as the tentacles. Allow to dry and hang from the ceiling to display their art and create an underwater classroom.

Keeping Art Safe for Toddlers
Toddlers naturally like to explore and get into things. Keeping them occupied with art activities lets them explore in a more controlled setting and provides valuable parent-child interaction time. Many of the art supplies designed for older children are not safe for toddlers. Since many toddlers still like to explore the world through their mouth, edible and natural materials can be safer, but make sure he doesn't try to eat any supplies that present choking hazards. Always supervise toddlers during art activities, but let them explore and create their own masterpieces. The end result is not as important as the process of creative exploration and sensory awareness.
