About This Project
Make a colorful octopus using craft sticks and pony beads! Glue your sticks together to make eight wiggly legs, then decorate each one with bright beads in any pattern you want. Add googly eyes and a smile to your octopus's face, and you've got a new ocean buddy! The best part? You get to pick your own bead colors and make cool patterns on every tentacle! No two octopuses will look the same. You can do this whole craft by yourself and show off your awesome color choices when you're done. You'll love this if: You like choosing colors, making patterns, or creating ocean animals that look totally unique What you'll learn: Making patterns, color matching, gluing skills, and counting (octopuses have 8 legs!)
