DLTK's Animal Crafts for Kids
OCTOPUS CRAFT
Materials:
- a toilet paper
roll
- a printer
- something to colour with
- scissors
- glue
- and paper (I prefer
construction paper).
|
 |
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the
template pieces.
- Glue the large rectangular piece on first to
cover the tube. I found a full tp roll was a bit too tall for the
octopus, so cut it down a bit (use the height of the rectangle as a guide).
- bend about 1/4 inch of each tentacle and glue to the inside of the tube.
- Younger children can count the tentacles (8).
- Slightly older children can count the suckers on each tentacle (4) and the
tentacles (8) and then sort out that 4 x 8 = 32 either by multiplying or by
counting all the suckers.
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
