Cute Little CrabJune 3rd, 2009
As we continue our ocean theme we learned about crabs today and made a crab. It turned out really cute.
Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, tissue paper, glue, wiggly eyes, 2 paper bowls and something to brush the glue on with.
Hailey did a great job tearing up the red tissue paper.
In one bowl mix a little bit of water in with some glue and brush it onto the bottom and sides of the other bowl.
Cover the bottom and sides of the bowl with red tissue paper. You can also do this with paint instead of tissue paper if you’d like to.
While Hailey was busy covering her bowl with tissue paper I cut out a mouth and some legs. There are 8 regular legs and 2 legs with claws. I also cut out some seaweed from the green tissue paper which I forgot to take a picture of.
Glue on the seaweed.
Add the legs.
Turn the bowl covered in tissue paper right side up and put glue all over the rim.
Add eyes and a mouth and you have your finished crab. (Hailey used so much glue that when I took this picture 5 hours after we made the crab- the glue was still wet!)
