In this easy tutorial for this Cute Paper Octopus summer crafts, you will learn how to craft an octopus. We have found it very hard to draw octopuses on paper, but with this tutorial, you can learn how to make an octopus with paper in a super simple way. Summer is a hot season and there is no reason to resent it, especially the long delightful vacations and the feeling of joy after a cold shower. This paper octopus is going to be booming.
Anyways, did you know that octopuses have nine brains? One of the brains is the central brain and the other eight arms have their separate brains to work independently. They have blue blood and three hearts! They also squirt out ink when they sense danger!
Cute Paper Octopus
The octopus is the ninth most intelligent sea creature in the world! It is mostly poisonous and the venom of one can kill ten well-grown men which is quite surprising. Isn’t it?
Are you ready to try this cute craft? Let’s begin!
What You Need:
- Pink colored sheet (or you can simply choose a color you like)
- The plain white sheet (white is optional. You can choose some other color as well)
- Black marker
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Pencil
Step 1:
Firstly cut the pink paper into a rectangle, the size is your choice and depends on how tall or fat you want to make your octopus. Also, draw a line horizontally above more than half of the paper. Now draw seven lines emerging from the horizontal line you just drew.
Step 2:
Now begin cutting these vertical lines you latest drew in Step 1. Do not cut the horizontal line.
Step 3:
Apply glue as a straight line on the end of the paper on one side as we have done.
Also, stick the two sides together.
Step 4:
Now begin rolling the cut strips hanging from the paper. These are the tentacles. Roll them all.
Step 5:
Take a piece of white paper and cut nine circles out of it that are small. Also, fold a piece of white paper and draw half of a smile on the folded side.
Step 6:
Now take two circles and draw a circle inside them using a black marker and fill it in with black as well. The eyes have been designed.
Step 7:
Now apply glue on the eyes and stick them on the top of the tentacles. Glue the smile under the eyes and this will complete the face.
Step 8:
Now stick the circles on each tentacle-like we have done. In this way, you have completed these octopus summer crafts for toddlers.
Congratulations, you are done! Now take them with you to your summer vacations at the beach and play with them immensely. You can make more of numerous colors and give them to your friends as well. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? You can look for more summer crafts from us and try them as well.
