Crab Crafts for Kids
Whether you’re searching for ideas to keep your kids occupied at home this summer or need a fun project for your next kid’s birthday party, crab crafts for kids are a great idea! Summer arts and crafts projects are a great way to get your kids off their screens and having some creative fun while they’re at home.
And when it comes to creating beach themed crafts, the sky’s the limit! You can create simple crafts for toddlers and preschoolers or more complicated projects for older kids. The one thing all these cool DIY projects on this list have in common is a crab theme. Because what’s more fun than looking for crabs at the beach?
These supplies are perfect for making some of these crab craft ideas with your kids:
- Coffee filters: Coffee filters make great crab bodies because they’re round! Decorate your coffee filters with paint or markers to make the craft even more fun
- Cupcake wrappers: Like coffee filters, cupcake wrappers make great flower crabs! Cut and shape them to turn them into a crab body or claws.
- Paint: Decorate your crab crafts with some paint. Whether you’re making red crabs or blue crabs, you’ll need to add some color to your art projects.
- Construction paper: Another less messy way to add color to your crabs is with construction paper. Use the paper to decorate your crabs to avoid the mess of paint.
