To make a grabby crab, you will need paper in the shape of a crab (or a circle)- we used finger paint paper, but you can use a piece of red paper, or if you want to colour or paint it use white! If you are painting, you will need the paint and supplies- we finger painted! You can draw the face on, or let them. Then to the side of the face you will need to punch two holes. Then you need 8 popsicle sticks, we have red ones so we used those, but you can use regular and paint or colour them red. You also need clothes pins- we had regular ones, so we also needed markers to colour them. Then, you also need red pipe cleaners and tape!
First, I let the kids finger paint the crab shape...
Then we coloured the clothes pegs...
After the clothes pegs were coloured, we put on the pipe cleaners. Insert the pipe cleaner into the spring part, and then twist. After that, do the same thing in the holes in the crab (to attach to the crab)
Then it is time to attach the rest of the crabs legs- put tape on the popsicle sticks, and tape them to the back of the crab.
Then you have a grabby crab!
