My sister had numerous hermit crabs. They had a small little home in a clear box with a mesh top so they couldn't get out on their own. I am not sure what she fed them, but it was whatever the pet store told her to feed them. She took them out pretty regularly so they could explore and walk around farther, but always when she was watching. I don't think they had many toys, just a few things that came in the box/cage, or whatever the right term for that is.
I do not think hermit crabs live all that long even if well cared for. I could be wrong on that, but done of my sister's crabs lived very long lives. I think that is one reason they are good pet for kids, because you do have to care for them and be responsible, but the child isn't making a commitment they must keep until they move out of the house.
