The Octopus

The Octopus

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs

Is those things arms, or is they legs?

I marvel at thee, Octopus;

If I were thou, I'd call me Us. 

Ogden Nash


Letter O and octopuses are always a lot of fun.  We have a couple of different octopus crafts, I'll post the other one soon

The first one is a coloring page/gluing page.

Print out an outline of an octopus...again, you can google "cartoon octopus drawing" and find lots of choices.

You'll want to have them color it first...practice using those muscles that hold a pencil!!

Then give them a small cup of fruit loops cereal.  They glue the cereal onto the legs of the octopus.

Don't forget to talk to them while they work about numbers (how many legs does an octopus have?), about the ocean, ocean life, and of course, the letter "O!"
