Materials Needed:
- Paper Bag
- Paint
- Newspaper
- Yarn
- Markers or Crayons
Instructions:
Paint the paper bag whatever color you want your octopus to be. Let it dry.
Once the paint is completely dry, ball up several pieces of newspaper and put them in your bag. Make the bag about 1/4 of the way full. Gather the bag around the newspaper and shape the bottom into a round shape. Wrap a piece of yarn around where you gathered the bag together and tie it with a piece of yarn. The rounded, bottom half of the bag will now be the octopus head.
Cut the top edges of the bag from the edge to where you tied to form the legs. Cut them so there is 8 strips. Round the edges a bit for a better effect. You can now set the octopus on the table and spread out the legs!
Use markers, crayons, or paint to draw on some facial features. If you like, you can glue half-circle, stryfoam packing peanuts to the bottom side of each leg to represent the octopus' suction cups.
