Silly Slime Dough and Jellyfish Activities – Jiggly Slime Recipe
We are learning all about jellyfish, and you can too. Not only that check out this super cool, stretchy, jiggly slime recipe we made. My kids love sensory play, so I try to incorporate that into a lot of our themed learning. Since we are using Five in a Row as part of our curriculum this year, I knew just what we were going to read and explore this month. So come along as we share this super cool Night of the Moonjellies experience.

How to Make Jiggly Slime
Did you know that Jellyfish have been around for over 650 million years and that they aren’t fish at all? They belong to a group of animals. Scientists call cnidarians. Most only live for 3-6 months, but some have been known to grow HUGE and live much longer…
They had so much fun with this squishy slime because Jiggly slime recipes are the best.
How to Make Jiggly Slime
Please remember Slime Recipes should be made with adult supervision.

Night of the Moonjellies Activities
Look at all of the super cool things we got the chance to experience by getting outside in nature.
Schools of fish, turtles, crabs, and of course Jellies. The boys explored the boats, ran along the pier and learned all about what goes on at a marina. This was such a great experience and guess what? This was only the first part of our slimy jellyfish adventure. I still have much more planned for our Night of the Moonjellies. Make sure you don’t miss part 2.
