Squishy Stingers
Acqualina’s marine biology-inspired children’s program, AcquaMarine, offers an interactive learning experience brought on by creativity and curiosity. There are 7 unique themes and our focus today is about Squishy Stingers. At the camp, kids have a chance to explore their artistic side while creating works of art such as ceramic jellyfish planters, canvas jellyfish paintings, jellyfish in a bottle and much more. At home, you can create your own Squishy Stinger as our camp counselor Regis provides step-by-step instruction.
MATERIALS
- 1 Paper plate
- Scissors
- Coloring or painting supplies
- Glue
- Glitter
- Hole puncher

HOW TO MAKE IT
- Cut your paper plate in half.
- Taking one of the halves, color it or paint it as you prefer.
