Description

Beady Jellyfish Craft is a hands-on and engaging activity that will challenge your students to utilise their developing fine motor skills. This craft can be used as a standalone fine motor activity or it can be used to consolidate numeracy concepts such as counting or making patterns.   To complete the craft, students will attach pipe cleaners to the bottom of the jellyfish's body. They can then begin threading beads onto the pipe cleaners. Students could be asked to demonstrate counting skills by threading a specific number of beads onto each pipe cleaner or create patterns with different colours. Threading beads helps to develop various fine motor skills. As students pick up each bead, they are practising their pincer grip, and threading the beads onto pipe cleaners requires them to focus and demonstrate precision and control. This bilateral and hand-eye coordination is essential for many daily tasks, such as fastening buttons, using tools or utensils and cutting with scissors.   Beady Jellyfish Craft requires minimal preparation, simply print the templates on coloured cardstock and gather the required materials. A detailed, step-by-step guide is included with the resource to make this craft lesson as seamless as possible.   The resource includes a banner that can be used to make a colourful and eye-catching display once your students have completed their jellyfish.   It’s time to get threading!
