  • Red paper
  • Pencil
  • Glue
  • Scissors

To use a print and cut device (such as Cricut Explore), use the PNG images. Upload to your machine software and cut according to manufacturer’s instructions. Size the pieces as follows:

Crab claws = 7 inches in height

Red eye = 3 inches in width

White eye = 2 inches in width

Trace the paper plate on a piece of red paper. Cut the circle from the paper.

Cut slits around the edge of the edge.

Glue the paper to the paper plate with the edges overlapping as needed to fit the curve of the paper plate. Allow the plate to dry completely.

Create the eyes by gluing the round pieces in a stack with the red under the white and the black in the middle of the white. Cut a chenille stem in half and attach one eye to each piece.

Decorate the paper plate by attaching pieces with glue.

Glue or tape the paper plate to the popsicle stick, if desired.

Allow the craft to dry completely before playing or displaying.
