For our craft we made an octopus from a paper plate. We decorated half a paper plate, then glued on 8 crepe paper arms and added big googly eyes.

Extra activities:

We talked about octopuses. How many arms they have, that they have suction cups on their arms, that they shoot ink out when they are frightened and about what they like to eat.
