Instructions

  • Cut red construction paper to fit around the toilet paper rolls and glue in place.

  • Cut two of the pipe cleaners in half. Setting one piece aside, take the three remaining pieces and twist together in the center.

  • Create feet by bending each pipe cleaner at the end and glue to the bottom of the toilet paper roll.
  • Cut two circles from red construction paper and cut a wedge out of each one.
  • Take the remaining piece of pipe cleaner and cut it in half. Glue each circle to the end of a pipe cleaner, then glue the other end of the pipe cleaner to sides of the toilet paper roll to make the claws.
  • Push two toothpicks through the top of the toilet paper roll.
  • Glue googly eyes to the end of each toothpick and your toilet paper roll crab is ready to roll...or crabwalk!

Notes

While we love to use glue guns for crafting, younger kids may not be old enough to use a glue gun safely. For those kids, white Elmer's glue will work just fine. I would recommend gluing the eyes to the toothpicks first, letting them dry, then inserting them into the toilet paper roll.
