Kids Activity – What’s Your Mood?

Imagine if you could change the colour of your skin to match your mood, communicate in a language of light, and camouflage yourself into the chair you are sitting in when you want to become totally invisible?

Well, that exactly what an Octopus can do!.

From invisibility cloaks to complex problem-solving abilities, glowing colour-changing skin, shape-shifting bodies and smoky doppelgängers; the octopus, with their agile intelligence, alien bodies, and visual communication systems are spectacularly peculiar and brilliantly adapted to their liquid world.

Colour your mandala to match your mood.

Kids Activity – What’s Your Mood?

Well, that exactly what an Octopus can do!.

Octopuses have feelings

Boneless, multi-talented, hypersensitive and smarter than a domesticated dog, the octopus is the closest we have come to alien intelligence. Octopuses can feel and think through their whole body, they have complex neurological systems, nine brains and the ability to edit their genetics.

Sensitive, inquisitive, shy and playful the Octopus-like it’s cephalopod relatives can change the colour, texture and pattern of its skin to camouflage and to express feelings. When an Octopus is white it is relaxed, red means stressed and blue and other marine colours are in play with their environment.

What colour are you?
