Did you know August 10th {this coming Sunday} marks the beginning of Shark Week on Discovery Channel? Last year this time-frame, I shared our “Footprint Sharks” craft, which I made with my son in honor of the yearly tv event. This year is no different and we did another simple “shark” themed craft in celebration.
Below you will find all the supplies and quick tutorial on how YOU can make this Paper Plate Shark Kid Craft w/your child today. And don’t worry – this shark doesn’t bite and the craft is SUPER simple. No blood in sight or animals to be harmed. Let’s grab our supplies – shall we???
Supplies:
* Paper Plate
* Gray/Silver Tissue Paper
* Gray/White Cardstock
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Stapler
* Black Sharpie
Optional – Various Punches
Directions:
* First cut your tissue paper into small squares.
* Slather a good amount of glue all over the paper plate.
* Ask your child to completely cover their paper plate in tissue paper.
* While they work on that – cut out the other embellishments to give the shark life. {think eyes, arms, mouth, etc}
* Now glue/staple on those embellishments to the paper plate.
* Let it dry completely before displaying.
Happy Shark Week folks!
