The teachers and the students are getting crabby at the end of the school year. Ha ha. 😃 As an art teacher, I am challenged to find projects that are fun for the kids. I stumbled upon this awesome "How to Draw a Crab" on YouTube. The kids absolutely loved drawing and painting this crab!
Are these crabs cute or what?

My students loved hearing Shoo Rayner talk on the video. 😍 Our middle Georgia accent is quite different from Shoo's British talk. The video was so fun for the kids!
Thanks so much for the inspiration, Shoo!
Directions:
I watered down tempera paint.
