Visual Arts: Octopus



This octopus display was relatively easy for my Kindergarten students to make several years ago (note the blackboard in the background!)

We were completing a unit of work "Under the Sea" and adding to our class display of ocean animals.

To make the template, I ruled a line across the an A4 piece of paper, in landscape view. On the bottom half of the page I ruled lines (the legs) from the first line to the bottom of the page with 2cm gaps:



Students snipped up the legs and rolled them, then pasted sticky dots on top for eyes and patterns.

The activity not only helped strengthen young student’s fine motor skills, but also their creative skills.
