Today's Leader is...Zeke the Octopus! Zeke has a special project for you today! Here's a nonfiction book about an octopus for you to enjoy: Octopuses and a fiction story: Inky the Octopus.
Here's a fun octopus craft for you to try! You'll need 2 sheets of paper, a pair of scissors, and tape or a glue stick. You can also use crayons or markers for the octopus's face.
1. Find your materials.
2. Cut one of the pieces of paper into a rectangle that is about the size of your hand, with your fingers open.
3. Cut 7 slits in the paper to make the 8 legs. Don't cut all the way to the top.
4. Use a pencil or pen to curl the slits.
5. When you are curling them, make every other slit the same length so your octopus can stand up. I did a short, then a long, then a short, then a long. The shorter ones don't have to match.
6. Use tape or glue to attach the two ends of your rectangle together.
7. Cut a circle from the other piece of paper. Draw a face on it and attach it to your octopus's legs. Ta-da!
