Great Tentacles! Octopus STEAM

Program Information

More than 150 species of octopuses exist in seas throughout the world. Famous for their bulbous bodies, bulging eyes, and eight arms with suckers, these “monsters of the sea” are invertebrates, solitary creatures, and highly intelligent with the ability to camouflage, move in and out of small nooks and crannies, and even the ability to expel ink. These group activities are designed to celebrate the unique cephalopod. You might also contact local marine biologists, aquariums, or other experts on octopuses and see if any can come present at your library.

Suggested runtime: 60 minutes.
