Instructions
- Download the crab template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
- Begin by painting a paper plate in 1-2 thin coats of red paint. Let dry completely before moving on.
- Place the crab body template in the middle of the paper plate, trace, and cut it out.
- Glue the eyeballs to the eye stalks, then arrange them in the middle, top of the crab body. Flip the paper plate over and tape the eyes in place.
- Position the crab’s claws on each side of the body, towards the top of the shell. Flip over and tape them in place.
- Next, place the upward curved leg below the claw, followed by the other two legs. Tape them to the back of the paper plate to secure them.
- Finish off the crab by using a black marker to draw on a smile in the top, middle of the crab shell.
