Devilfish kids!!! Want to create your own paper pet? Here is how to do it. Have Fun!!!
Materials
Card stock Scissors Glue Googly eyes

Instructions
Fold a piece of card stock in half. Draw an animal onto the paper so that some part of the top of it (head and tail, or back) is along the fold. Cut through both layers of paper, being careful to keep some of the fold intact. Attach the googly eyes using glue if they don't have adhesive backing. Now stand the animal up. If it splays apart, glue together the front and back of the head and tail, leaving the legs unglued (or in the case of an octopus, glue just the left and right arms and leave the bottom ones unglued).

**Do you know of anything going on around town or base? Help the FRO get in the KNOW! Call Anthony at 858-577-6418 or email anthony.hernandez1@usmc.mil.
