Cupcake Liner Crab Craft

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)

For this craft you will need:

• Red cupcake liner
• Red construction paper
• Black construction paper
• Googley eyes
• Red marker
• Glue

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:
