Hermit Crab City - Kids Cut & Paste Activity

Dressed to impress, hermit crabs share their spacious abode with a garden of friends. Stacked atop their spiralled homes are sea anemones, strange collectables, shells and sometimes human recyclables.

To protect their bodies from the hot sun, hungry birds and octopus, the hermit crab needs to find shelter in the discarded shells of sea snails. Unfortunately, hermit Crabs don’t grow their own shells and need to find new ones as they grow bigger.

 

Cut and Paste Activity.

Now it’s your turn to imagine what it might be like to be a hermit crab too.

Cut and paste a city atop a hermit crabs shell, and imagine a world under the sea with your other hermit friends and family.
