Creative Wednesdays
I love taking children to the library. I found “Jasper the Jumping Jellyfish” by Sam and Missy Walshaw at the local library. If you can’t find the book at your local library click here to view a child read the book to your Nanny Kids. Have the little ones make their own jellyfish after reading the story.
In the book, Jasper is a very sad little Jellyfish. He just swims about and feels useless. Minnie the Minnow tries to help him, but she starts to wonder if he really is useless! Finally, something dramatic happens and Jasper’s hidden talent comes to the rescue.

What to Do:
1. Cut out a jellyfish shape from orange, dark pink, or red paper, (see photo as a reference).
