Kraken are fascinating creatures. They have eight arms with suction cups, which are also called tentacles. For a sea party or a fisherman's party you can make the octopus. The children get to know the animal. Did you know that octopuses have three hearts? One for the brain and the body and two for breathing. Enjoy crafting and designing!
Prints the template or takes it as a template to paint a template of its own.
(see template below)
Put out your craft pad and cut the lines with the scissors.
Then you cut the dashed lines along each thin strip and round off the strips.
On one side a thin stripe remains. Cut it straight off as shown in the picture.
Now you paint circles, dots or dots on each strip.
Uses felt pens or crayons.
Then you cut out your eyes and paint them with a white crayon.
Now stick your eyes side by side in the middle of the wide strip of paper. Turn the paper around, that the eyes lie on top. Now you paint under your eyes a nose and a mouth.
Now her glue sticks on the overhanging paper strips and glues the paper together to form a roll.
Now you're straddling the arms of the octopus vigorously over a round pen. Thus, the paper rolls slightly outwards. This is a difficult task for children, in which they may need support.
Repeat this on all tentacles.
Now you sit the octopus upright on the table. By the weight of the paper the arms of the octopus bend slightly outwards.
The octopus is ready.
You can easily paint more octopuses yourself and cut them straight.
Tip: Prints the template for the octopus on a colored paper.
Have fun with crafts and celebrations!
