Inspire shy little ones to come out of their shell with the engaging Folkmanis finger puppet mini hermit crab finger puppet featuring textured shell and printed crab body fabric. Use three fingers to move head and claws and pull in and out of shell for interactive fun.
To grow, a hermit crab must periodically shed its exoskeleton, and it retreats deep into its shell during this vulnerable moulting phase. Once a shell gets too tight, it searches out a bigger one and darts across to it in a single swift move, before a rival can claim it first. Two moveable, stalked compound eyes give it an almost all-round view of its surroundings. A pair of antennae also feels along the ground for food and for empty, well-fitting shells. Groups of crabs sometimes form a kind of queue, swapping shells in turn once the largest animal finds a new one.
Did you know that hermit crabs are known for their habit of using empty snail shells as their home to protect their soft abdomen? These creatures are masters of "real estate," regularly switching to larger shells as they grow.
