Crafts
Look at a photo of an octopus. Draw a circle.
Draw or cut two eyes out of paper. Draw or
make eight legs. Draw (or make out of construction
paper) on the legs a number of circles. Cut the
octopus out with scissors. Repeat if you want to
make more than one octopus.
Octopus Hotdogs!
This is kind of hard for preschoolers to do on their own
but with a little help and guidance, they can do
it...especially the first few cuts...
Give your child a plastic knife and show her/him how to
slice through the hot dog starting at one end and stoping
about an inch and a half from the other end...it will look
kind of like one of those old time clothes pins when you
spread the two pieces apart. Cut each of those
pieces into two by making another slice the same way
making sure you always stop before getting to the other
end. Cut those four into eight and you now have the
legs of the octopus. The inch and a half that was
not cut is the head and you can make a couple of slits in
the hot dog to represent eyes and another to make a
smile. Boil the hot dog in water until the legs curl
and the smile opens a bit. This octopus will sit up
on a plate and smile!
Crustaceans
Crustaceans are shellfish (mollusk). These include:
crabs, crayfish, lobsters, and shrimp.

Crab Walk Race
In an open area, place your hands (fingers facing away from
you) and your feet should be flat on the floor. Crawl
backwards. See who can win. You can do this with
only one person and it is still a lot of fun.
