Are you planning an ocean themed week at home or school? Then this purple octopus and the paper plate blue whale in my last post may be exactly what you are looking for.
I don’t know what it is, but I have always been so mesmerized by octopuses and jelly fish. When we go to the aquarium, I could spend hours watching the jelly fish. In fact, my husband has come close to having to drag me from the tank. I love how cute these purple octopuses turned out.
