About this coloring page

This cheerful crab has two big raised claws, eyes on stalks, and a smiling face with oval cheeks. Its rounded body and curved legs fill most of the picture. Below it, two spiral shells and a starfish sit on a simple curved patch of ground, with just a few small marks around them.

The thick outlines and large open spaces suit an easy coloring sheet for ages 3–5, while the shells offer a little extra detail. Try orange or red for the crab with a lighter shade on its belly, or let little ones choose their own colorful combination. Crayons work well for filling the broad body and claws.
