After a couple of weeks working on some new bathroom designs and octopus illustrations I decided to put together this quick kids craft project. It’s the perfect way to practice basic scissor skills with some simple straight lines to cut along.

Instructions:

1. Visit the free download section of the shop and print out the PDF template

2. Cut around the outside of the template (parents may want to do this for smaller children) then cut along the dashed lines to create the legs

3. Glue or tape the tab into place

4. Curl the legs out so you octopus can sit down

You might even want to decorate him a little more and add googly eyes

When it comes to decorating a kids bathroom you probably don't want to be altering tiling and fixtures that will become out dated once the kids grow, but there are plenty of quick ways to inject a little fun and colour into a family bathroom.

1. Shower Curtains. So simple and easy to replace as the kids get bigger, or you just feel like a change. Like this orange octopus and rainbow bunting design. 

2. Mirrors. They don't have to be boring. Paint the edge in a bold colour or try something like these multiple mirrors that are not only fun, but they can be positioned at different heights meaning littlies can see too. Pic Doherty Design Studio.

3. Art. A quick and easy way to brighten up a space for kids and these prints are great for teaching bathroom responsibilities.

I'm so excited to release my latest illustrations. At the start of the year I set myself a goal to finish off an Aussie animal nursery art set before Australia Day and they're here! A cute koala, cuddly wombat, cool kangaroo and cheeky possum. Also available as a set or individually.

And just because illustrating wombats was so much fun (and because 90% of the time I've seen them in real life they are on their backs lounging around) I have a cute new lazy wombat print too.

When you can't decide between a space themed nursery and a sea themed one - why not go for both? Our new octopus astronaut print.

Pretty inspiration for nursery decor with pops of colour. Loads of rain here for the past few days and more on the way so we're staying wrapped up in doors all snuggly. Pictured Love Heart Rain Print.

Unicorn cakes have sprinkled magic into the world of baking, and they're more fabulous than ever. Traditionally, the were all about pastel perfection, but now they've taken a cheeky turn towards the sassy side.
