The life cycle of an octopus sequencing activity

Help your students recall and understand the life cycle of an octopus with this foldable craft activity. Use to support learning around ocean animals, life cycles, or sea life.

Options are included for using coloured card, or for pupils to colour the octopus themselves. Pupils will cut out the life cycle stages and put them in order on the tentacles of the octopus before cutting out the parts, gluing, and folding. More fun and interactive than a standard life cycle worksheet!

There are similar 3 templates to choose from (one with the life cycle already sequenced, one to print on coloured card, and one to print on white card for children to colour the octopus).

This resource also includes a ‘label the octopus body parts’ worksheet in black and white, and in colour.

Both US and UK versions are included in the zip file.
