Coloring Tips

When you’re ready to color our crab and his sandy home, think about the wonderful colors you might find under the sea! Crabs come in many shades – classic reds and oranges are popular, but you could also imagine a purple, green, or even a speckled crab! For the sandy cave, shades of brown, yellow, and even light grey would look fantastic. Don’t forget the water around the cave – maybe a beautiful blue or green. You can use different pressure with your crayons to create lighter and darker areas, making the sand look textured. Add some bright blue for the bubbles to make them pop! There’s no right or wrong way to color, so be creative and have fun!

Fun Facts

Did you know that crabs are crustaceans with hard shells that protect them from danger? They have ten legs, and two of them are often powerful claws! Crabs use their claws for catching food, defending themselves, and even digging. They love to hide in sandy caves, under rocks, or in crevices to stay safe from bigger ocean creatures and to rest. Some crabs can even camouflage themselves by decorating their shells with seaweed or sponges to blend in with their surroundings! Our little crab in the cave is very smart, finding a safe and cozy spot to relax. The ocean is full of amazing creatures like him!
