<Back to song

If I were an Octopus... Craft

This is a simple paper plate craft.  There is also a TP Roll Octopus on the site, but this octopus has been made especially for the song (it has a banner with "I'd thank-you, Lord, for my fine looks.").

Octopus craft

Materials you will need for the octopus are paper plate or ice cream container lid, eight strips of tissue paper, crepe paper or construction paper, a printer, glue, scissors, something to colour with and a piece of paper (I prefer construction paper).

NOTE:  you can omit the Paper Plate/lid and just treat as a paper craft.
  

bulletPrint out the template of choice. 
  
bulletColour the pieces as appropriate and cut them out.  (cutting may require adult assistance and can be pre-done).
  
bulletSee the picture above if you're confused as to how to put this together.
  
bulletCut the paper plate or ice cream container lid in half to make a half-circle.  This should be done by an adult.
  
bulletGlue the eight strips of tissue/crepe/construction paper along the straight edge of the half circle (these are the tentacles).  
  
bulletGlue the eyes and mouth onto the front of the octopus.
  
bulletGlue the bow on top of the head for a girl or under the "chin" for a boy.
  
bulletGlue the banner along the bottom of the half circle (or glue it to one of the tentacles).
