We’re more than halfway through our Summer Super Stars campaign and this week we are tasking you with making a cute octopus!
You will need:
Ribbon or wool
White and coloured paper
Glue
Coloured pens and pencils
Scissors
Hole punch
Bubble wrap
Water spray
Foil
Googly eyes
Here we go!
Step 1
Gather the equipment listed above and get ready to begin.
Step 2
To start this task, cut a piece of foil and colour it, preferably using our Color’peps Duo Felt Tip Pens. Spray a fine mist of water on top.
Step 3
Press down a piece of bubble wrap carefully onto the wet colours and lift it off.
Step 4
Place a piece of card or paper on top of the foil and rub over it to print your colours, then lift it off. Then, using another piece of card or paper, lay the bubble wrap on to it colour side down and press, then lift off again.
Step 5
Once the paper has dried, cut out an octopus head shape and stick it on to some coloured card or paper and cut it out, leaving a small edge.
Step 6
Use a hole punch to make four holes along the bottom, then pick two colours of ribbon.
Step 7
Double them up to thread, loop and pull gently through each hole to make the octopus’ tentacles
Step 8
Finish off by adding some googly eyes!
Step 9
Congratulations. You’ve completed the challenge!
