Art and Craft: Octopus (Part II)

Since the children had done the first part of the art on Friday, we continued with it today. Before we started the art work, I showed them a sucker accessory that I brought from a DIY shop over the weekend. The children observed the sucker accessory and try it on the board. They put it on and pull it off from the board. I believe, the children could understand the usage of the sucker on the octopus' tentacles.

Yu Han sticks the sucker accessories on the board. 

She tried to remove it. 

Then, I got the children to add on the suckers onto their octopus' art. It took them a while as some of them wanted to colour their octopus in various colours besides adding in those suckers.

Once they were done with it, we all sat down and looked at the art work and I guided the children to make some sentences about it.

These were the sentences made by the children (as a group, not individually) :-

1) The octopus' suckers are sticky.
2) The octopus catches sharks and fish.
3) The octopus can change colours.

We were almost done with octopus. We might move on to jellyfish later of the week.
