This adorable little crochet octopus will surely put a smile on anyone’s face. On one side it’s happy. On the other side it’s sleepy. Or maybe it’s mad, dizzy, shocked, or in love. The Flip Flop Octopus is made up of two pieces, sewn together at the bottom with one side stuffed inside the other. Just push down on the top of his head and the other side pops out! This cute octopus would make a great gift for anyone, but let me give you some examples!

• Baby shower or newborn gift - No long strings, no button eyes, nothing to get tangled in. Little hands will have no trouble grabbing on to the tentacles for play time. Make it out of cotton yarn and it would be great for teething
• Birthday present - You don’t need expensive gadgets and toys that light up and make to much noise to get the perfect present. This octopus will be a treasured gift.
• Stress relief toy - Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop. Keep your hands busy with this octopus plushy. It’s way less distracting than a fidget spinner (and cuter too).
• Best friend present - No one knows your best friend better than you. That’s why a reversible octopus with their favorite emoji faces is the perfect way to say you care.
• Christmas present - These little octopus work up quickly and easily, meaning you can put one in everyone’s stocking.
• Donations - Because these little guys are so versatile, they would make great donations to hospitals, police stations, child services, and charities.
