Octopuses are awesome, aren’t they? Learn all about these creatures with our easy and fun octopus crafts for kids! Perfect for kids of all ages!

We get mixed messages regarding octopuses from popular media. On one hand, you have the adorable, blue Oswald who’s nice to everyone, and on the other hand you have Dr. Octopus, super villain who isn’t nice at all. And that’s why octopuses keep everyone guessing whenever they appear!

Speaking of guessing, Paul the Octopus was famous for predicting football match results – correctly! Octopuses are much more intelligent than we give them credit for!

So this World Octopus Day on 8th October, let’s celebrate these amazing creatures, whom we still have a lot to learn about. This is one animal that kids will be intrigued by and will want to know more. So along with your craft supplies, get some interesting octopus trivia ready to dish out!

The underwater world is a breathtaking one, with all kinds of gorgeous colors. Our Kid Things tries to capture this effect in this project where bubble wrap printing gives the octopus tentacles multicolored suckers!

2. Paper Plate Octopus

Paper plate octopus craft is an exciting way to learn about ocean creatures while brushing up on some scissor cutting and other fine motor skills. 

The idea of using bubble wrap for octopus tentacles is just genius! You can either use them to print as shown in the craft above, or go with this idea of using the bubble wrap directly as octopus arms.
