Grab your supplies and let’s get started on our fun bottle cap crab craft!

1. First, use the PDF templates to cut out the base using blue and yellow craft paper—this is going to be so much fun!
2. Next, take the wavy yellow paper piece and glue it onto the bottom of the blue paper to give your crab some character.
3. Now, take a marker pen and draw the crab’s legs and antennae right on the blue paper.
4. Let your creativity shine! Once you’re done, glue the bottle cap right over the middle part of the legs you just drew.
5. Next, it’s time for some fun details! Stick some googly eyes on the top of the antennae to give your crab a silly look.
6. Now, let’s add some bright red claws! Cut out two circular shapes from red craft paper—make sure they are a bit smaller than the bottle cap.
