Other countries have CHEERIOS, we on the other hand have FRUIT LOOPS. I love how many things you can do with these stuff! So for our animal theme…while also learning the circle shape, we decided to create some octopuses using FRUIT LOOPS!
What you will need:
- Construction Paper (we used color purple but you can use any)
- Scissors
- Fruit Loops
- Glue
- Googly Eyes
What you will do:
Step 1: Cut out an octopus shape on your construction paper
Step 2: To give the kids more to do, we also cut off the tentacles and had them glue these to the body
Step 3: After gluing everything together, start gluing the fruit loops unto the tentacles
Step 4: Glue on some googly eyes
Step 5: We originally planned for the kids to draw the mouth, but as you can see, they were much more creative than we were and decided to use the fruit loops for the octopus’ mouth!

Overall, it was a fun activity that tapped not just the kids’ interest in octopuses but also some math skills like the number of tentacles as well as the circle shape. Some kids even decided to eat the Fruit Loops instead of sticking it to the octopus! (haha) So you better have some extra fruit loops when you do this!
