Give each child a crepe paper octopus made from 8- 15-inch streamers knotted together. Let each child dance around the room with an octopus partner while you play music.
For each child draw seven 5 1/2-inch lines up from the long side of a piece of construction paper. Have the children cut along the lines on their papers to make octopus arms. When they have finished, roll each paper and tape the sides of the body together, leaving the arms free. Let the children attach self-stick circles for eyes. Then have them bend their octopus arms outward..
Hang the finished products from a string or pin up.
