This little guy was really fun to make! I'm going to show my kiddos how to do this too, I know they are going to be in their glory making a sea of these things. :) They are easy and extremely inexpensive. Your munchkins could make these all day long and it would barely cost you a thing!
Total Time: 20-25 minutes

Supplies:
- felt
- embroidery floss
- scissors
- needle
- glue gun
- google eyes
- measuring tape
Steps:
- You will begin by cutting a piece of felt about 4'' tall and 1 1/2'' wide.
- Fold your felt in half and snip in two.
- Round your two top corners for the head.
- Cut a length of floss and knot the end so this will secure it inside your work.
- Keeping both pieces together, make a simple running stitch around the sides and top.
- You will then glue your google eyes. Whoever invented these things are awesome, google eyes rock! Stitch a smile too.
- Now, using three different colored flosses, cut 12 pieces in 2'' lengths. These will be the tentacles.
- Now cut a tiny strip of felt measuring about 1'' long and 1/4'' tall.
- Hot glue the ends of the floss to this.
- Now hot glue your strip to the front inside of your fish.
- All ready to play!
