DLTK's Animal Crafts for Kids
OCTOPUS CRAFT
For the octopus, you will need a toilet paper
roll, a printer, something to colour with, scissors, glue, and paper (I prefer
construction paper). |
 |
 | 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). |
