Octopus Craft

I read once somewhere that you know you have toddlers when you are excited to get through a role of toilet paper because you need the rolls for a craft you are doing. It was funny because at the time I was! I have been saving up for this craft for a while. Lincoln did this at school and Palmer has been dying to have one ever since. Today he finally got one.
Now isn't that just a happy little craft?
They were loving using the scissors, we don't do it too often. 

You can see our metallic paint on Maddy's octopus.
Palmer was so into the octopus thing!
Poor Hunter didn't get to paint the octopuses. He isn't so good with the non-washable paint. He did get to put on the googly eyes and do the smile though.
This is Lincoln "flicking" his octopus. He was mad for some reason.

Thanks for the great craft idea Em! My kids have been obsessed with the octopus idea since we saw Night at the Museum 2. They will LOVE making their own. In fact, I'm sitting here thinking about the roll of toilet paper I changed out this morning, it's probably sitting right on top of the trash can, I could probably save it......

If you find any more crafts I can do with toilet paper rolls let me know. Now that I know their value I don't want to throw them away! I am thinking binoculars next...
