Feeling a little crabby? Hermie can help. The Claymoo Hermie the Crab Foam Clay Kit is a beginner-friendly air-dry clay kit that lets kids sculpt their own hermit crab, from his round shell to his tiny claws and legs.

Kids start with simple balls and coils of soft, pre-colored foam clay, then shape and assemble them step by step until Hermie takes form. The guide can be followed on video or printed out, and there's extra clay to give Hermie a friend or try a design of their own.

Ages 6+ · No baking or painting · Video or printable guide · Air-dries in about 24 hours

Along the way, kids practice fine motor control, following directions in order, and sticking with a project until it's finished. A natural fit for an ocean unit study, a rainy afternoon, or a gift for a creative kid.

Additional Information: This product is manufactured by Claymoo and sold by Knowledge Crates. This kit may contain small parts that are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Clay and other kit components are not intended for consumption. Meets ASTM D-4236 art material standards.
