Assignment

Directions:

1. Draw a squid body on one sheet of the blue paper, and draw 2 circles for eyes, and a mouth on the white paper. Use the other blue sheet of paper to cut out the legs for the squid. I cut mine curvy and we used 5 legs for the squid.

2. Cut out all the parts for the squid.

3. Use the glue stick to glue the eyes and mouth on the squid.

4. Turn the squid over and glue your legs to the back of the squid.

5. Now just glue your wiggly eyes into the white eyes and you are done! Super simple and fun!
