What's included

What's Included

11 printable pages: 10 coloured designs + 1 black-and-white colouring template, supplied as 2 complete PDFs (A4 and US Letter). Each PDF contains the same complete collection; the two sizes are alternatives, not extra designs.

Colours include turquoise, coral, lilac, sky blue, mint, sunshine yellow, rose, periwinkle, peach and seafoam, with a mix of cheerful expressions.

CLEAR CUTTING GUIDES

Every template says "Dashed lines = Cut here". Cut the outside dashed outline, then the seven arm-divider lines up to the stop dots. The solid attachment line on the GLUE tab must stay uncut.

Who it's for and when to use it

The listing is titled “Octopus Craft Printable, 10 Color Designs and Coloring Template, Ocean Animal Paper Craft for Kids, Preschool Activity, A4 US Letter PDF”. Use its theme and the supplied activity details to decide whether it fits your gathering or project.

How it works

How To Make

Choose the PDF for your paper size and print at 100% / Actual Size on paper or light card. If using the colouring template, colour it first.
Cut the dashed outline and arm lines. Keep the top face band and GLUE tab attached.
Gently roll the body into a tube, with the face outside.
Glue the tab inside the opposite edge at the back. Allow the join to hold before curling.
Wrap each of the eight arms outward around a pencil, release gently, and arrange the arms on the table.
