Shark Crafts for Kids

During our Ocean Unit, we spent a few days learning about sharks and other sea creatures. Sharks can be kind of scary but these crafts are more on the cute side!

Paper Plate Sharks

You can make little sharks out of paper plates!
Cut out a red circle for the inside of the mouth, triangles for the teeth, and half-ovals for the eyes.
Fold the bottom part and staple or tape the eyes in place and use a marker to color the dark part of the eyes.
For the back fin, cut a paper plate in half and fold the bottom edges so it can be attached with staples or tape.

Recycled Paper Towel Roll Shark
Reuse paper towel rolls to make this shark craft.  Cut out a triangle from one opening on the cardboard roll.  This will make 2 triangles.  Glue one to the back and one to the top to make the fins.  Paint the whole thing blue.  Add some small triangles cut from white paper to make the teeth, and glue into place.  Add googly eyes and paint on some gills to complete this shark craft!
