O is for Octopus

 Practice letter recognition and counting to 8 with this cute octopus.

-construction paper

-googly eyes

-glue

-hole puncher 

-crayon 

At work we have a movable alphabet which was used to trace the O. Puzzles are also great for tracing or free handing works well too. I also cut up octopus legs beforehand. Children glued the O, legs, and eyes on and then drew a crayon smile for their octopus. They then added blue holes from a hole puncher as bubbles.
