Download the jellyfish template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Paint a small section on the bottom of the paper plate in a lighter shade of the main jellyfish color. Paint the rest of the paper plate in a darker shade. Let it dry completely before moving on.
Trace the two jellyfish body parts on the upper and lower part of the paper plate and then cut them out. Flip the two pieces over and slightly overlap the lower body part onto the bottom of the main body part. Use tape or glue to secure the two pieces together.
Flip the jellyfish back over and glue the eyes in the middle of the main body piece.
Next, glue the cheeks on the outside of each eye. Use the black marker to draw a smile on the jellyfish just below the eyes.
Flip the jellyfish over to the back, then arrange the tentacles in the way you want. Once you get them in place, use tape to secure them to the back.
