12 Totally Killer Shark Crafts To Make With Your Kids

Shark Week is around the corner and it’s one of the favorite weeks of the year in my household! My daughter is currently obsessed with sharks (I’m a proud mama because I was obsessed at her age!) and we’ve been reading and watching all we can to learn about the oceanic predator. And on top of that, we are always on the hunt for fun shark crafts to make together. She can decorate her room with them or they can double as shark themed party decorations. There’s no shortage of shark crafts out there. Some have interactive moveable parts, some use toilet paper rolls, some have printable templates – there really is a fun shark craft out there for kids of all ages.

Whether you’re looking for kids activities for Shark Week, some fun shark-themed party ideas, or just summer activities for kids, this ultimate collection of shark crafts and shark activities is the place to start.
