Jellyfish Jellyfish 1-2-3: Rhyme, Craft, and Deep Breathing Exercise
Ms. Christina shares her original action rhyme, “Jellyfish Jellyfish 1-2-3.” You can make your own deep breathing jellyfish at home with a paper plate cut in half; pieces of paper, yarn, or string; tape or glue; and markers, crayons, or stickers.
