Dive into a vibrant marine world with an original and fun DIY project themed around the ocean! Who would have thought that a simple polystyrene bell could transform into an adorable sea creature? This is the perfect summer activity to keep kids entertained during the long holidays: they will love painting their base, curling the paper tentacles, and creating a unique face for this octopus.
Why we love this activity?
-
The combination of the relief bell and the curling tentacles gives real dynamism to this little marine sculpture.

Rolling the paper to curl it and positioning the tentacles helps develop the dexterity of young artists.
