Octopus facts for kids
- Where it lives
- On the sea floor, in dens among rocks and in shells.
- How big it is
- A common octopus with its arms spread is as wide as a door.
- What it eats
- Crabs, shrimp and shellfish.
- And also
- An octopus has three hearts and eight arms. It can change colour and hide.
What colours to use
An octopus changes colour in a blink: red, orange, brown, even blue rings. Draw circles for the suckers along the arms.
In the aquarium any colours work: the creature will swim exactly as your child coloured it.
Bring it to life
In the Live Aquarium app the same outline can be coloured on the screen with brushes, fills and stamps, and then it swims in a 3D aquarium, can be fed, petted and named. A printed and coloured sheet can be photographed in the app (with Plus).
