Possible Materials needed: Red soda cap, red foam paper, yellow foam balls, glitter, sand, water, jar, foil, googly eyes, green/yellow thread, tape, hot glue, etc.There are so many things you can do with this cute little guy once you make him. All you have to do is glue two googly eyes to the top or side of a bottle cap and cut out some red claws and legs out of red foam paper. (If you aren't planning on using water, use red construction paper.) However, while you're waiting on this little dude to dry, start creating a home for him. You can be creative. I tried creating a sensory bin for him to live in, jars filled with different items. Submit your crab homes to kiddocrafts@gmail.com to be added to the blog!

| How I made my base: Yellow cut out foam circle covered with glue, sticky foam balls formed to make a mound, sprinkle sand/glitter/sequins as desired. |
 |
| Can be put in the bottom of a jar or a sensory bin, depending on how you want to use it. |
 |
| Add a cutout piece of foil to create a cave like background. Add different colored yarn to create seaweed. Add clear aqua beads to incorporate some bubbles. (Dollar Store) |
 |
| Create a sand land for your crab. Yellow foam balls to represent coral. Dry/Wet sand. Pennies for treasure to find. Shredded brown paper (damp). Seashells would also be fun to add! |
