You can decorate it with “suction cups”. They are made from white felt and hand sewn to the tights. They are circles 2 cm in diameter with a hole inside.

There are many ways to make an octopus costume.

Let's look at another, no less simple one.

What you will need to complete:

• Plain T-shirt.
• Tubular foam.
• Black and white pieces of fabric.
• Paints.

The manufacturing master class is as follows:

1. To make the foam tubes brighter, paint them with paint to match the color of the T-shirt.
2. Thread eight tubes onto an elastic band and tie them around the child’s waist with a skirt.
3. On the T-shirt, which should be loose, draw the eyes, nose and mouth of the octopus.

When wearing such a suit, put leggings on your child’s legs that are in harmony with the color of the suit. The costume of a cheerful, perky octopus is ready.

The third version of the costume is simple, like the previous ones.

Required for Octopus Monster:

• Bright blue or green fleece blouse with a hood.
• White felt fabric.
• Dish sponge – 3 pcs.
• Orange felt fabric.
• Glue gun.

Manufacturing master class:

1. Cut out circles from white felt fabric, 2 cm in diameter, with a hole inside. There are 32 mugs in total (16 for each hand).
2. Glue them to the bottom of the sleeve, to the right and left of the seams.
3. We cut out circles of different sizes from orange felt and sew them along the entire front side of the blouse.
4. We cut out small rounded horns from 2 dishwashing sponges and glue them to the hood with glue.
5. Between the horns we place 3 octopus eyes. We also cut them out of a sponge, and glue a small black circle – the pupil – into the middle of the eye.
6. Along the perimeter of the hood you can sew several fangs cut from white felt.

It's not just children who love octopus costumes. Proof of this is the Doctor Octopus costume created by Erik Finman, a young millionaire.

This suit is robotic and controlled by sensors attached to the hands of the person operating it.

Children's costumes develop a child's imagination, accustom him to creativity, develop communication skills, and simply bring happy moments into his carefree life. And how do we know what our children will become in the future? After all, Erik Finman was once a child too.
