Scuttle over to this cheerful crab standing happily on the sand. It has a wide oval shell, two big raised claws, four little legs on each side, two eyes perched on short stalks, a friendly smile, and a couple of small seashells beside it. The bold shell and chunky claws are easy for little hands, while the eight legs and shells give a bit more to fill for older colorers. Crabs are crunchy-shelled creatures that walk sideways and use their claws to grab food and defend themselves; some even wear shells or bits of seaweed on their backs as a clever disguise. Bright red or orange is the classic crab color, with a sandy tan beach below and pink-and-cream seashells resting nearby. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let this cheerful, sideways-walking little smiler brighten up your whole day, big claws and all.

Coloring Tips

  • Classic red — color the shell and claws red or orange for an instantly crabby look.
  • Count the legs — fill all four legs on each side so your crab can scuttle sideways.
  • Sandy shells — use soft tans and pinks on the seashells and sand to set the beach scene.

Frequently asked questions

Is this crab easy to color?
The big shell and claws are simple for young kids, while the eight legs and shells add a little more for older colorers.
Why do crabs walk sideways?
Crabs' legs bend in a way that makes scuttling sideways faster and easier than walking straight ahead.
