  Kia ora David,
  
  The octopus drawing file is here.
  You can either colour it in online or print it out to colour yourself. Alternatively, draw and colour your own!

Kia Ora, Mrs Stone! This is Kamsi. When I looked for the badge after completing this activity, I couldn’t find it even though I reloaded the page many times. Could you please advise me on how to proceed?

Kindly, Kamsi!

  Kia ora Kamsi,
  
  Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I have now added the badge for both of the Octopus activities on the first slide, so just click the image to download it.
  
  Thanks again,
  Mrs Stone
