Free Paper Cup Crab Craft
Free Paper Cup Crab Craft
To assemble:
• Print out the free crab template
• Cut out everything and stick it to the cup.
• Put one dab of glue on the cup then press a leg onto it. "Glue and fold" worked with my 5 year olds.
• Stick on the eyes.
• Colour it red.
Why not color it first? I did a practice version where I colored everything first, but I then couldn't glue it together as it wouldn't stick to crayon covered paper. Painting rather than using crayons causes everything to shrivel and gluing together even more of challenge.
If you would like to make a more substantial version of this crab craft then use an upturned plant pot painted red.
