KWAZII KITTEN
A daredevil orange kitten with a mysterious pirate past. He loves excitement and travelling to exotic places.
CAPTAIN BARNACLES BEAR
A brave polar bear extraordinaire and the leader of the Octonauts crew. He’s always the first to rush in and help whenever there’s a problem.
PESO PENGUIN
PESO PENGUIN is the medic for the team. He’s an expert at bandaging and always carries his medical kit with him in case of emergencies. He’s not too fond of scary things, but if a creature is hurt or in danger, he can be the bravest Octonaut of all!
These are just a few of the delightful creatures you will find in this fun underwater adventure. We learned about Octonauts last January, and they have become such a hit with my kids that they made the “best of the best” list for 2013!
You can find Octonauts on weekday mornings on the Disney Channel’s Junior block. But if you are like me and don’t have cable, then the DVD is definitely the way to go! The series has been nominated for an International EMMY Award, and has received nominations for Best Animate Preschool Show in 2011 and 2013.
To get the Octonauts party started, check out some of these great free activities you can print or do online!
- First up, be sure to color and collect all of the Octonatus Octo-Crew Cards at DisneyJunior.com.
- Octonauts.com also has a maze, hide and seek, and great coloring activities!
- NCircle Entertainment also has a great selection of activities to check out.
- And finally, in 2013 I actually compiled a large list of free Octonauts printable coloring pages, so definitely check that out!
