Craft: C is for Crab

- Print out template on cardstock or heavy paper.

- Cut out pieces (C, eyestalks, and pinchers).

- Color pieces.

- Turn C sideways so opening at bottom.

- Glue pinchers to sides.

- Glue eyestalks to top.

Extension Activities:

- Make a collage of items that start with the letter C.  Let your child cut out pictures from a magazine or draw items that start with the letter C and arrange on a piece of paper to make a collage.  Don't worry if they pick items that start with the letter K.  Both letters can have the same sound.  Simply mention it and move on to the next item.

- As "clock" starts with the letter C, this is a great time to explain what a clock looks like and the basics of telling time.
