Ms. Frizzle is at it again. In “The Magic School Bus on the Ocean Floor” by Joanna Cole, she takes the kids on a field trip to the ocean. Her students know they are in for another adventure when she drives the bus right into the ocean instead of stopping at the beach as they had hoped. They explore the underwater terrain and learn about the many plants and animals that live in the ocean. Dive in and explore with them!
You can make your own underwater creatures with a few simple supplies. A jellyfish can be made with two disposable bowls, crayons or markers, googly eyes, and scraps of ribbon and yarn.
Color the outside of one bowl with crayons or markers, then, glue on the googly eyes.
On the inside of this bowl glue strips of ribbon, yarn, lace, rick rack, crepe paper, or anything
else you have on hand.
Glue the second bowl inside the first bowl so that the “tentacles” are in between the two bowls.
This will help hold the “tentacles” in place.
You can hang your jellyfish by poking a hole in the head and stringing some ribbon, yarn, or
fishing wire through it.
