Claude the crab paints by the sea
A famous artist he hopes to be
But the tide came in and his paints fell
Now his art is on his shell!

Helpful review?
One of my favorites, feels nice to hold it flat with the stomach resting on your palm. Good for sensory stuff if you have ASD
Highly rated. Helpful review?
