Giant Squid

We just finished a great "big" art project based on the book I'm the "Biggest" Thing in the Ocean. 
On day one we painted and painted and painted large pieces of paper. The kids wanted to make giant squid and baby squid, so I saved the paper plates we were using as our palettes to use as the baby squid.   On the eve of day one, once the paint was dry I cut the paper and the plates into the shape of giant squids and baby squid.   On day two we glued the front and back of the squids together and stuffed them with tissue paper so they would be three dimensional and them added strips of bubble wrap and paper as the legs.  A cut apart styrofoam egg carton made the eyes.  We hung our giant squid in the family room and the baby squid in the kids rooms.
