How to make a crab shaped paper circle craft
What you need:
- red construction paper (or any other color you feel is appropriate)
- blue paper for the base
- black marker
- two big round eyes
- Paper hole punch with 2 sizes or 2 circles to trace around
Step by step instructions
Start by drawing circles.
If you have a circle punch, use it to punch out circles, otherwise find round objects of different sizes – like glass cups and jars, and draw around them.
You will need 1 large circle and 4 small circles.
Fold all the circles in half.
Glue the larger half circle onto the base paper (bottom half of the paper – in the middle).
Make the claws – glue two smaller folded circles on top of the large circle, forming a V shape.
Do the same with the remaining pair of circles.
Draw a set of legs with a black marker.
Draw a straight line from the claw to the body of the paper crab.
Glue two big round eyes (or draw eyes) on top of the crab’s body.
Use a black marker to draw a line from the eyes to the body.
Done! Your crab paper circle craft is complete.
