Materials

  • Brown paper bag
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Download the octopus template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Make the octopus head by gluing the eyes just below the eyebrows, one on each side.
  • Place the cheeks on the outside of the eyes and slightly lower, then glue them in place.
  • Use a marker to draw spots on the top of the octopus's head.
  • Glue the completed head to the flap portion of the brown paper bag.
  • Position the blue rectangle on the main part of the brown paper bag and glue it down. Use a dark blue marker to draw waves on the paper.
  • Place the octopus body just below the head and glue it to the front of the blue paper.
  • Finish by using the same marker to draw on the suction cups along the bottom of the tentacles.
