Materials

  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick

Instructions

  • Download the crab template, print it, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Begin by assembling the crab by positioning the two handprints with thumbs pointed up and fingers pointed outward. Slightly overlap the palms and glue them in place.
  • Next, secure the two crab claws by gluing them to the pointer finger of each hand. 
  • Now, glue the eyes onto both of the thumbs.
  • Position the mouth to the center of the two handprints and glue it in place.
  • Place and glue the tongue on the lower part of the mouth.
  • Finish off by gluing the cheeks on each side of the mouth.
