Instructions
Print out the crab craft template and cut out the pieces. Trace the pattern pieces onto craft paper and cut them all out.

Use an x-acto knife to carefully poke two holes on either side of the toilet paper roll.
Glue the circular pieces on top of the rectangular piece.
Glue two googly eyes onto the circular pieces.
Use a marker to draw the mouth and some freckles on the crab.
Glue the rectangular craft paper around the toilet paper roll. You can use two different shades of red to add more interest, or you can simply use one shade of red.
Now, put a pipe cleaner through the holes you made earlier.
Glue the crab’s claws on the pipe cleaners.
Take the crab’s walking legs and make a small horizontal crease down the straight side, as shown below.
