Jellyfishjelly is the work of Miya Maeda."My work is intended to be a simple guide for non-crafty, “creatively-challenged” parents. The concept behind this site arose from what I perceived to be the near universal need for parents of small children to find novel and challenging activities to occupy what can sometimes seem like a very long day."
I’m not sure what the opera house has to do with anzac day.probably a poppy would be a more suitable craft for remembering the soldiers from Australia and New Zealand who died in Golipolli.
I edited the post to remove the reference to Anzac Day. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention.
