We have an emotion-changing octopus for you! This paper cup octopus craft will require a little help from a parent (or teacher) in one step but is a great craft activity for kids to make and play with.
Let’s make one!
This fun paper cup octopus craft has so many uses. First is the whole quirky art aspect of it – where kids get to make it. They can make their octopus as quirky as they want and in every color of the rainbow.
This octopus can make many silly faces or emotions.
So this product would be great to use as a toy while kids play, to add to story time, or as a tool for talking about or dealing with emotions.
Are you ready? Let’s create an octopus that can change its emotions (or any other creature).
What you need
Optional: other permanent marker colors
Take one of the paper cups and draw an octopus on it. You can sketch it out in pencil first so you can “fix” things if needed. The head/body of the octopus needs to be wide and big enough (take a larger part of the cup).
Once you are happy with your octopus craft design, trace it over with a black marker.
Permanent markers will work better although you can just as easily use paint (acrylic, etc).
Take a regular pencil and draw a rectangle (through the rectangle hole) to create a rectangular outline on the inside of the cup. Rotate the cup slightly, move the square outside the rectangle, and draw another rectangular outline. Repeat until you reach the end.
Take out the cup. Draw different facial expressions inside the rectangle outlines. Happy, angry, confused, silly, sad, whatever you like.
Place the cup with the octopus body on top of the cup with the face.
With thousands of printable crafts, activities, worksheets, coloring pages, and drawing tutorials, you’ll always have the resources you need at your fingertips. Perfect for parents and teachers alike!
