C Is for Crab Craft

Learning the letter C will be a snap with this week’s ABC Craft! But you better watch your fingers! This crabby crustacean may be cute, but he’s got a great big pair of pincers!

Here’s What You’ll Need

• 2 sheets of printer paper
• Card stock (we used red and sky blue)
• C Is for Crab Craft templates
• 2 “googly” eyes
• Glue stick
• Pencil and black marker
• Scissors

Instructions for Assembling Your Letter C Craft

1. Print the C Is for Crab Craft templates.
2. Cut out the templates and trace the letter C and the crab pincers and eye parts onto card stock.
3. Cut out the letter C and crab pieces.
4. Glue the letter C and the crab pieces onto a full sheet of card stock (we used sky blue, but you can use any color you like) to form a crab.
5. Affix a googly eye to each of the crab’s eye sockets.
6. Use a black marker to draw the crab’s mouth onto the letter C. (See the sample on the template for placement.)

Learning with Your Letter C Craft
