Clawdia the crab

What animal moves sideways? A question asked in every Tennis Tots session. The answer comes back emphatically from a sea of little faces sidestepping around a big circle with their little pinchers in the air.

Clawdia the Crab has a low centre of gravity, moving sideways and diagonally while always facing in the direction of the ball. Clawdia is always happy, and although she has a tough outer shell, she has soft, sensitive innards. She wears a crown because she likes shiny things and is a princess to her friends and family.
