Cupcake Liner Crab Craft

ByLiz Nieman August 11, 2014July 16, 2016

I’ve been loving cupcake liner crafts lately. It is always so much fun to take everyday things and turn them into crafts. Today I’m sharing a red crab craft but we also made our favorite Ninjago characters. So fun!

What we really love doing is getting a few library books about a subject, reading about it and then making a craft. (affiliates included)

It’s so easy to make! All you need to do is have your little one fold a cupcake liner in half – we overlapped just a bit – and glue it together, then onto paper.

Then you can draw small lines on top wit a red marker and attach googley eyes with glue.

We drew legs with a red marker and cut out pinchers from red construction paper.

Then cut out a little smiley mouth out of black construction paper.

See? Super easy.

Here are a few books kids will love about crabs:
