Start by printing out the crab craft template from the bottom of the post.

Paint the paper plate with red paint. Once it dries cut the painted paper plate into two halves.

Leave one of the sides of the paper plate as the crab's body, and then cut whatever pieces out of the other side of the paper plate you can. Also, use the piece of red paper to cut out the rest of the crab's claws and legs.

Each piece will be glued to the back of the paper plate. The flat portion of the paper plate is the top of the plate and the front of the crab. The crab's arms should be glued out of the curve of the paper plate on each side. To the front claws should face out the side of the plate. and then the two rectangular strips of paper should go out the top of the paper plate.

Next, we drew some eyes out of the white pieces of paper. If you have large googly eyes, then you do not need to draw your eyes. Cut the eyes the size of a quarter.

Glue the eyes to the end of the rectangular pieces at the top of the paper plate. Viola, you have yourself the cutest flat paper plate crab!
