Octopus Color Matching Craft
This has to be one of our new favorite activities! This color matching craft is both a color matching activity and color craft at the same time!
To start, you will want to print and laminate the free printable below. Then cut out the octopus bodies. Finally, use a hole punch to make 8 holes on top of the white circle designated spot.
Then put out pipe cleaners for your student. They will match the color of the octopus body with the correct colored pipe cleaner and twist the edge around the leg.
This also makes a super cute take home Octopus Craft for kids! If using as a craft I suggest printing on cardstock instead of laminating. Check out all our Kindergarten Crafts
