Ocean Bulletin Board



And this is how it all went down:
Buy The GREAT STUFF and some acrylic paint.
Image result for spray foam insulation
Spray a mound for the octopus' head.
Bumps are good.  I added some "freckles" with a puffy paint for texture.



Spray some "legs" and coral reef-like arms:




















Then paint the octopus and the reef any way you like:


 Attach the pieces to fit using anything you can.  It's all pretty light so this part is not difficult and neither is attaching the foam pieces to the wall board.  I simply used hot glue and long skewers (ones that I use for BBQ).  VIOLA!

  4. What did you use for the background? I'm looking at covering a whole classroom with something like this.

    1. It was a store-bought background from Lakeshore Learning
