Polka Dot Bow Octopus With Lollipop and Long Lashes

A smiling octopus with big sparkly eyes, long lashes, and round cheeks sits in the middle of the page with a polka dot bow on top of its head. Its eight curly arms spread out in every direction, and most of them have little circles for suckers along the underside. One arm holds a swirly lollipop near the bottom right. A small fish with a happy face swims in the upper right corner. Along the sandy seafloor you will find a flat shell, a tall spiral shell, a few pebbles, and scattered dots and bubbles. This page is a nice pick for a preschool ocean theme. Try coloring the bow and the lollipop in matching bright colors, then let kids choose different shades for each tentacle and count the suckers on one arm as they go. The large open head is great for crayons or markers.
