Octopus: Toilet paper tube crafts

February 23, 2016 By Jamie Dorobek 2 Comments

O is for Octopus!

Toilet paper tube octopus craft

The toilet paper roll octopus is one of the easiest to make. Here’s what you will need:

  • 1 toilet paper roll
  • Scissors
  • Single hole punch
  • Pencil
  • Black marker
  • Glue
  • White scrap paper

First, cut 8 slits about 3/4 the way up the toilet paper roll tube. These will form the tentacles! Then, use a hole punch to punch out 20-ish white dots from any scrap paper and glue them to the underside of the tentacles. You will also use 2 hole punches as eyes. Use a black marker to draw swirls and add pupils to the eyes. The last thing you need to do is curl the legs up with a pencil or any other small cylinder shaped object you have laying around, pen, chop stick, etc!

Here are the other toilet paper roll crafts in the series:

  • A is for anteater
  • B is for beaver
  • C is for cat
  • D is for dog
  • E is for elephant
  • F is for fish
  • G is for giraffe
  • H is for horse
  • I is for iguana
  • J is for jellyfish
  • K is for kangaroo
  • L is for llama
  • M is for Mouse
  • N is for Numbat

And now for a few fun facts about octopuses:

  • Crab, shrimp, and lobsters are octopuses favorite foods!
  • When threatened, octopuses shoot an inky fluid that darkens the water to confuse the attacker.
  • Octopuses typically live alone in dens built from rocks.

Next Tuesday I’ll have a letter P toilet paper tube creature ready for you! Can you guess what P animal I made!?
