After a couple of weeks working on some new bathroom designs and octopus illustrations I decided to put together this quick kids craft project. It’s the perfect way to practice basic scissor skills with some simple straight lines to cut along.

Instructions:

1. Visit the free download section of the shop and print out the PDF template

2. Cut around the outside of the template (parents may want to do this for smaller children) then cut along the dashed lines to create the legs

3. Glue or tape the tab into place

4. Curl the legs out so you octopus can sit down

You might even want to decorate him a little more and add googly eyes
