ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Vooks Storybooks Clay Activity for Kids! | Fourteen Animals That Are Definitely Not An Octopus!
Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with clay or play-doh? Today, we’re going to make animals using octopus tentacles! Let’s get started and see what cool creatures we can create!
To join in the fun, you’ll need some clay or play-doh and an activity printout. Ask a grown-up to help you get these ready.
Step One: First, take a piece of clay and roll it into a ball. You can roll it on the table or between your hands. It’s like making a little round ball!
Step Two: Now, let’s make eight long tentacles for our octopus. Roll the clay into long, wiggly shapes. These are the octopus’s arms!
Step Three: Once you have all the pieces, roll them back into a ball. Now, you have everything you need to start creating animals!
With your octopus pieces, you can make all sorts of animals. Maybe you’ll make an ostrich, a flamingo, or even a bunny! Use your imagination and see what you can create.
Give it a try and see how many different animals you can make. Can you make 14 different animals? I bet you can!
If you love making animals, you might also enjoy listening to fun stories. Ask a grown-up to help you find some storybooks. It’s like a magical library full of exciting tales!
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your clay and start creating your own animal adventure!
Remember, your creations are amazing, and each one is special. Have fun and enjoy making your beautiful animals come to life!
Animal Habitat Exploration: After creating your clay animals, think about where they might live. Use a piece of paper to draw a habitat for your animal. Is it in the ocean, a forest, or maybe a desert? Ask yourself, “What does my animal need to survive?” Share your drawing with a friend and explain why you chose that habitat.
Tentacle Counting Game: Use your clay octopus to practice counting. Count the tentacles and then try adding more! How many tentacles does your octopus have now? Can you make an octopus with fewer tentacles? This is a fun way to practice counting and learn about numbers.
Story Time Adventure: Create a short story about your clay animal. What is its name? What adventure does it go on? Ask a grown-up to help you write down your story. Then, share your story with your classmates or family. This helps you use your imagination and practice storytelling!

One, two, three! Yours looks so good! What is it? Yes, is it a frog? Yes! I guess mine is a camo.

We just watched a video about 14 animals that are definitely not an octopus, and now we’re trying to see what animals we can make out of an octopus. You can do this at home too! All you need is this activity printout and clay or play-doh.
Step one: Roll one piece of clay into a ball. One way to roll it into a ball is to roll it on the table. Another way is to put it in your hands and roll it around.
Step two: Make eight long octopus tentacles. I have my tentacle arms! Me too! Now you roll it back into a ball. Now we have all the pieces for our octopus, so it’s time for step three.
Step three: Use these pieces to create animals. I’m probably going to make an ostrich or a flamingo, but probably an ostrich.
Well, you’re going to do great at it! Give me a high five!

You can do this at home and see how many animals you can make out of all these tentacles. I bet you can make at least 14.
