Hi there, here at Crochet fashion you will find great tutorials, and i have a Reversible Crochet Octopus tutorial for you today, it’s a fast and easy tutorial, that was created by Rose and Lily Crochet.

The “mood octopus” is an adorable, reversible plush. On one face he presents an emotion and, when turned inside out, he changes color, showing another feeling. Initially, it appeared as a gift between couples, who use the octopus to show how they are feeling, seeking to avoid conflicts. However, soon the pet also won the hearts of children and young people.

In addition to its success on the social network, the reversible octopus also caught the attention of psychologists and teachers, who generally use dolls and other playful resources to help children express themselves and say what they feel. The plush can serve as a way to work on the expression and emotional communication of the little ones. “I think these kinds of toys are fantastic. The more emotional recognition we have, the greater our self-knowledge, the greater our ability to self-regulate and the greater our ease with social relationships”, says Cristiane Rayes, clinical and educational psychologist.

Undoubtedly this is a very useful toy for young children to help them show their mood, when it is still difficult to use words to identify emotions. It can be a good option to make our mood known.

One of the theories that circulates on the internet is that it is designed for children with difficulties in expressing themselves and communicating, as well as for those who have a disorder, such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or Asperger’s.
