Sea Life Paper Craft

Maryland Blue Crab

feature printable blue crab craft

This type of crab is found in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New England, but you can help your child make this blue crab craft at home wherever you are. 

I think of them as Maryland Blue Crabs, but you may also know them as Chesapeake Blue Crabs, Atlantic Blue Crabs or just plain Blue Crabs. 

Their pretty blue color looks like something out of this world, but they are very real.

This craft is great for kids of all ages. 

Littles will need help from an adult or older sibling, but big kids may be able to do to entire craft from start to finish. 

After you’ve downloaded the template, you can print, cut and assemble the craft. 

A watercolor ocean background is beautiful and turns this into a work of art that kids can proudly display. 

If you don’t want to deal with paints, you can easily just hang it on a bulletin board or mount it to cardstock or poster board.
