Tiny Octopus Lounging in a Teacup

Coloring guide
Here a smiling baby octopus with big round eyes sits inside a large teacup. Its tentacles drape over the rim, and the suction cups show along the curled tips. The cup has a handle on the right, a stripe band around the top and a small saucer-style base. Floating bubbles of different sizes surround it, wavy seaweed grows on both sides, rounded pebbles lie along the sandy seabed, and a little smiling starfish waits in the bottom right corner. Small hands can tackle the big open shapes on the head and the teacup, and older kids can focus on the tiny suction cups and bubbles. A soft purple octopus in a bright turquoise cup with a pink stripe, plus a sunny yellow starfish, would be a cute combo. Pick up the free printable PDF for your growing collection.
