Hey there, little explorer! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure under the sea. Are you ready to meet a new sea friend? Let’s dive in!
Look closely! Do you see a shadow in the water? It’s a special shape. Can you guess what it is? It’s a jellyfish!
Jellyfish are amazing sea creatures. They look like floating umbrellas with long, wiggly arms. They can be many colors, like pink, blue, or even clear like glass!
Jellyfish are beautiful, but we have to be careful around them. They have something called a sting. If you touch them, it might hurt a little. So, it’s best to look at them from a safe distance.
Did you know jellyfish don’t have brains or hearts? They just float around in the ocean. They are very old creatures, even older than dinosaurs!
Next time you visit the beach or an aquarium, see if you can spot a jellyfish. Remember to admire them from afar and enjoy their beauty!
Thanks for joining our sea adventure today. Keep exploring and learning about the amazing animals in our oceans!
Jellyfish Craft: Let’s make our own jellyfish! Gather some colorful paper, scissors, and string. Cut out a circle for the jellyfish’s body and attach strings as tentacles. Hang your jellyfish in your room and imagine it floating in the ocean. What colors did you choose for your jellyfish? Why?
Shadow Play: Use a flashlight and some toys to create shadows on the wall. Can you make a shadow that looks like a jellyfish? Try moving the light closer and farther away. How does the shadow change? What other sea animals can you create with shadows?
Observation Walk: Next time you visit a beach or an aquarium, take a notebook with you. Draw or write about any jellyfish you see. What colors are they? How do they move? Remember to observe from a safe distance. Share your observations with your family or friends!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“I can see another silhouette back there. It’s a jellyfish! Be careful with jellyfish; they sting.”
