These 20 jawsome shark crafts and activities are perfect for shark week!
It's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel and it's all my kids have talked about. We don't have cable television at our house but we made a trip over to grandma and grandpa's where the kids happily sat and watched a few episodes in awe while I chatted with my mom and caught up on work.
With it being summer break from school, we have all kinds of time for shark crafts and activities! My girls are all about crafts so I thought it would be fun to try out some shark crafts and activities for shark week. Most of the craft items we already have on hand so grab your glue sticks, construction paper, paper plates, scissors, clothespins and let's get started!
