Big-Eyed Baby Octopus With Spiral Tentacles
Coloring guide
A happy octopus with a big round head, wide sparkling eyes and an open-mouthed smile fills the whole page. Two little curved eyebrows make it look curious. The tentacles curl out in every direction and are lined with round suction cups, which gives little hands lots of small circles to fill in. The two bottom tentacles swirl inward into spirals, while the ones on each side curl up and out. With no background at all, just a clean white page, younger kids won't feel overwhelmed, and the large smooth head is great for practicing even strokes. A bright purple or coral orange body with pink or yellow suction cups would stand out nicely. Download the free PDF for some screen-free time at home.
