You Tube Videos
There are several examples of the intelligence and wonderous behaviors of the octopus online. I found quite a few videos through You Tube. My favorite links are below. Please don’t scroll through the comments as some are very rated R, and be sure to preview the videos before showing to your students.
1. Octopus escaping through a 1 inch hole
2. Wild Chronicles
3. Showing Camouflage
Paper Mache Octopus
This is messy, but so much fun!
Flour and water
pan and a stirrer
Green tempera paint
Green crepe paper streamers
TADA! (You can also make a squid paper mache by using the long ‘clown’ balloons instead of the round one used above.)
Slug and Snail Art
Have your child
use air hardening clay to mold a slug and a snail. After the artwork has dried
according to the package directions, have the child add an artistic flair!
Take pictures of your crafts and post them on one of these frames or on this octopus frame. Cut out and add to your lapbook!
