How to Use the Crab Shapes Tracing Worksheets
You can simply print the pages and let your student trace the crab shapes with a crayon, pencil, or marker.
However, if you want to reuse the pages, laminate them or use them with Dry Erase Sleeves or page protectors and a dry erase marker.
If your student isn’t ready to write, your student can use a variety of manipulatives to “trace” the crab shapes.
You can try red yarn, pipe cleaners, playdough, or even small red hot candies to place around the shapes.
Here is a sample of the tracing pages with Wikki Stix. Wikki Stix are waxed yarn, and they are a fun manipulative to use with these tracing pages.
Benefits of the Crab Shapes Tracing Pages
These crab shape tracing pages will help your student practice fine motor skills. They can also help your student with other skills.

You can also use these pages to help your student analyze two-dimensional shapes. Ask questions. Is an star like a triangle? How are they the same? How are they different? How many sides does an octagon have? How many sides does a diamond have? Which one of the shapes looks the most like an actual crab?
