To make this KNOTTY CRAB you will need a paper strip 30-cm long and 3-cm wide. Hold two ends of the strip and tie an ordinary simple knot in it. Pull both the ends and tighten the knot gently. On flattening the strip you will be surprised to see a pentagon in the middle. Draw four parallel lines on both the end strips. On cutting you will find five thin strips on both ends. These strips will make the jaws and the legs of the crab. Fold the two top strips upwards and bend them at right angles to make the jaws. Fold the lower four strips to make the legs on both the right and the left ends. Fold each leg to make the feet. Cut small triangles in the two jaws to make them look more realistic. Also draw two big eyes and then stand back to admire your Knotty Crab. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
