First, you will need to download the crab craft template and print out. This can be found at the end of the post.

Cut the crab craft template out. Trace the crab onto coloured cardstock and cut out.

Trace the circle onto white cardstock and cut out x2. Cut 2 smaller black circles. Set aside.

Fold the paper crab in half and cut slits into the middle of the crab.

Leave at least a half of an inch all the way around to avoid tearing the paper.

Cut strips of coloured cardstock. (use a colour different from the crab.

Try using bold prints or textured cardstock

Weave the coloured cardstock strips in and out of the crab. Secure the ends with a bit of glue.

Use scissors to cut off any excess paper hanging over the sides.

Glue the eyes together and then glue them onto the crab.

Use a black marker to add a mouth to the crab.

Your crab craft for preschoolers is finished!
