Stages of making a paper crab:

1. The first thing to do is to make a base for our future crab. To do this, we take a red double-sided half-cardboard and measure a piece of the required size. The larger the parameters, the crab will be larger in size. Cut out with scissors.

2. Roll up horizontally and glue the edges together.

3. Cut six strips of the same size from a sheet of colored half-cardboard.

4. Glue in the middle of the crab's body.

5. Bend the legs so that they look more believable. You can bend the legs with a pencil or pen and then make a couple of bends.

6. Cut out a pair of claws and places for eyes from red half-cardboard.

7. First glue the claws to the inside of the torso.

8. Glue the plastic eyes on their special place.

9. Then glue them to the body of the crab.

10. The craft from colored paper is ready!

Your child has the right to add decorative elements to the sea animal or to draw some missing details. In general, everything depends on your child's imagination.
