Squid Paper Craft Instructions

Select 2 different shades of the same coloured craft paper as well as pink and white.  

Trace the small round shapes on the pink paper and cut out the eye patterns directly from the template (or you can draw them using a sharpie).

Trace the body base (head and tentacles) and the fin patterns on a darker coloured craft paper. On a lighter coloured craft paper, trace the mantle pattern. Carefully, cut out the traced patterns.  

Squid Paper Craft Activity

First, glue the mantle cutout onto the bottom side of the fin cutout, by overlapping the fin halfway through the bottom end.
