TIDE POOL TREASURES - TIE DYE OCEAN PUPPETS

Preschool/Early Elementary Art

Dive into color and creativity with this joyful under-the-sea art adventure! In this hands-on project, young artists will create a pair of playful ocean-themed puppets—a jellyfish and a crab—using a super fun tie-dye technique with water-soluble crepe paper. After "magically" transferring color onto watercolor paper, students will add bubble wrap textures, googly eyes, and movable parts to bring their sea creatures to life!

Project Focus: Jellyfish & Crab Puppet Pair
Techniques: Tie-dye with crepe paper, printmaking with bubble wrap, paper puppet building
Skills Explored: Fine motor skills, color transfer, texture, cutting, assembling movable parts

From tide pool to tabletop—these cheerful critters are ready to dance, wave, and wiggle with personality!
