During outdoor time, use a box lid and take the pet hermit crabs outdoors. Provide a table and challenge the children to create a maze using small rocks, twigs and leaves. Have the children predict the path they will take. Ask the children if they believe the crabs will go through tunnels or around obstacles. Encourage them to observe how the hermit crabs use their limbs to move about and encourage children to touch and feel each crab.
