Explaining to a 5-Year-Old How Jellyfish Are Very Old Animals

Hi there! Did you know that jellyfish are some of the oldest animals in the whole wide ocean? That means they have been swimming in the sea for a really, really long time, even before dinosaurs were alive!

Here are some easy ways to say that jellyfish are ancient:

• "Jellyfish have been living in the ocean since a very, very long time ago!"
• "Jellyfish are like ocean dinosaurs because they lived a super long time ago!"
• "Jellyfish are old sea animals that have been here for millions of years!"
• "Jellyfish are very old friends of the ocean."

So when you see a jellyfish, remember it’s a special animal that has been around for a long time, telling us stories from the deep blue sea!
