About this page
About this crab coloring page for kids
This crab sits on the sand with his two claws raised, and he is drawn as one wide shell, two eyes on short stalks, and four jointed legs on each side of his body. Every part is a bold and separate shape, and one small shell on the sand beside him gives a child a second subject to color. Crabs walk sideways and carry a hard shell over their bodies, so the page offers a clear ocean animal to count, to compare, and to fill with warm bright colors.
