Now roll out 2 even smaller balls. These are going to be the bottom claws. Once your bottom claws are made you can attach them.

Now you can put the legs together. To make sure they are relatively strong, blend the clay together underneath the arm. The smallest arm joint should be the one nearest the body.

Arrange your arms under the crab body to line them up. Once you have the body over the top and the arms are where you want them press down on the body. Then turn the crab over and blend the joints.

You have nearly finished your crab. All you need to do now is roll out 6 thin sausages. These are your crab’s legs. Just like you did with the arms of your crab, arrange the legs under the body and when you are happy that they are in the right place, press down on the body. Now turn your crab over and make sure the joins are good and strong.

Now you can get creative. You can give your crab antenna, a smile, a little set of jaws, anything you like.
