Letter O/Octopus Theme

Today we talked about the letter O for octopus!  My computer is functioning again.  However, we stuck to doing another letter since I knew that I was ready to go with that.  We are chugging right along through the alphabet and my son is enjoying that.

Here is the link to Confessions of a Homeschoolers Letter O octopus printables.

We talked about how octopus have 8 tentacles and I put up this little flannel board guy.  He kind of looks more like a jellyfish now that I look back on him.  

We also did this fun O/octopus craft.  I don't have a link to an original source for this idea, but I have seen it floating around various places on the internet.  We cut out o and 8 strips of paper.  Then my son glued cheerios onto the strips and we glued the strips to the O and viola an O octopus!

Check out Starfall's letter O activities too.

Also you can see my post about octopus that I did last year with my middle son.

Ocean- Octopus

Today we focused on octopus.  I found some a cute packet linked on Totally Tots that my son had fun doing .  It had a lot of tracing and coloring.

 I found this octopus craft here.  They used cheerios too, but I didn't have any on hand.  My son drew a cute little face that you can't see very well in the picture.

 Confessions of a Homeschooler's letter O packet has some fun octopus activities including this fun puzzle.
