Racing Jellyfish
D and I had some time yesterday to do the last craft from her October Kiwi Crate. It was creating and playing with racing jellyfish. We carefully decorated the cardboard jellyfish with sparkly stickers and glow in the dark dots. Then we threaded ribbons through holes to make the tentacles. Finally we attached string to the back in order to be able to race them on the suction cups on the sliding glass doors.
D had fun decorating hers but LOVED how she could make it climb up the string. She spent 30 minutes racing it up and down. Then she stood the the side and pulled on the string, making it dance. Unfortunately she had so much fun she caused a groove in the plastic suction cup hook which sliced the string in half. After a few tears I told her she could have mine to dance with. She gladly put it over the pantry doorknob and continued her dance.
It always amazes me how she (and S) are enthralled with these simple crafts we make. They play with them until they break or come apart.
