How to Make it?
Step 1. First, download the Octopus template, print it, and cut out the shapes you need.
Step 2. Paint the paper plate with one or two thin layers of paint and wait for it to dry completely.
Step 3. Place the octopus head template on the painted plate, trace around it with a pencil, and then cut it out.
Step 4. Stick the eyes on the head, one on each side, using glue.
Step 5. Use a black marker to draw the mouth and eyebrows. Then, take another marker, a bit darker than your paint, and draw spots on top of the head.
Step 6. To make the tentacles curly, wrap each one around your fingers or a marker. Wrap the outside ones tightly and the middle ones a bit looser.
Step 7. Glue the eight tentacles around the bottom of the head.
Step 8. All done! Now, you have a fun octopus craft that kids will love!
