⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stephanie D. says, "The class loved the cards and had a great time trying to camouflage the octopus. They were very creative. I loved this activity and I will use it every year.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alysia B. says, “My students loved learning about the octopus and how it protects itself by camouflaging. We played a game of octopus hide and seek, and then each student was able to take home an octopus and the accompanying information to play octopus hide and seek at home too.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bilingual Mingle says, “This was an excellent addition to our "National Octopus Day" celebrations! My kindergarten class loved it. Thank you!”
