It’s interesting to watch crabs. Little creatures on the beach, moving around in funny ways.

They cleaned their bodies and just enjoyed resting in the sun.

And if one crab wants to invade another crab’s territory, they will fight a little.

To ensure there are no fights between crabs, we will provide each crab with its own safe space – a circle.

If you love crabs like we do, you will definitely find this project very interesting.

Plus, these crabs can’t pinch like real crabs, they’re completely harmless.
