Octopuses.....

An octopus has eight arms to help them move and open things. They squirt ink to deter predators; and being boneless, they are squishy and able to squeeze into (or out of) tight spaces and they are quite intelligent. Today we created our own eight-armed octopus. We used fine motor skills to carefully cut along the lines on the paper and peel stickers!

We also played with play dough, ocean animals and sea shells. I added sand to the brown play dough for a slightly different texture!
