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.
