All About Crabs

Crabs are fascinating creatures that live in the ocean and on the land near the shore. They have a hard exoskeleton, or outer shell, that protects their bodies from predators. Crabs also have two claws that they use for catching food and defending themselves. Some crabs even have special claws that are larger than the others, called the “pincer” claw and the “crusher” claw.

Did you know crabs come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors? Some crabs, like the blue crab, are bright blue, while others, like the red king crab, are a deep red color. And some crabs, like the hermit crab, don’t even have their shell! They use empty shells from other animals to protect their soft bodies.

If you love crabs as much as we do, then you’ll love these free crab coloring pages! You can color in all your favorite crabs, from the silly-looking fiddler crab to the majestic snow crab. And while you’re coloring, you can learn more about these amazing creatures and their habitats.
