Try any or all of these fun activities with Inky!
1. Color Inky your favorite color using markers, crayons, colored pencils, or any other fun coloring tool you have!
2.   Paint or color an ocean scene on a piece of paper and then paste Inky somewhere in your seascape!
3.  Design Inky's den for him.  Where would his bed be? Would he have a kitchen?
4.  Use a crayon and color all of Inky's pieces heavily.  Really bear down on the crayon so that you cannot see any white spots.  When you are finished, flip the paper over to the side that is not colored.  Dribble a little vegetable oil on a paper towel and spread it across the paper.  Check out the cool effect you've create!  Hang Inky on the tree or in the window to create a sun catcher.
5.  Practice your counting, addition, subtraction and/or multiplication with Inky! Print out the Head, Arms, and Suction Cup templates.  Attach all 8 arms to Inky's head. Cut out all the suction cups.  Move them around each tentacle and add them up or take some away. 
6. Place as many suction cups as you want on each tentacle and count them up. You  can practice counting by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, or even 10's!
7. Practice your multiplication facts! Place 6 suction cups on all 8 arms and see how many you get? Take them off and place 3 on each arm. How many do you have now? 
8.  Create a pattern with Inky's tentacles, such as red, green, red, green.  If you are a little more daring, use the suction cup template and see how detailed you can make your patterns on his tentacles.
9. Decorate Inky as festive as you can for the holiday season using things around the ocean.
10. Design your very own Inky, Shark, Jellyfish, and Eel. The possiblilities are endless!
Once you've finished your project, take a picture and send it to us at [email protected].  We'll post it up in our Fan Art section so you can share it with the world!  Who knows?  Your work of art might just inspire someone else!
Have fun and enjoy!
