This shark mouth picture frame is a great kid craft idea that is perfect for shark week or any time of year! Includes a free printable template to get you started.
Craft Supplies:
- Shark Printable – ON OUR LANDING PAGE
- White Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Adhesive
- Printed Picture
- Blue Cardstock Paper
- Large Wiggle Eyes
Directions:
- First things first – print out the free paper shark mouth file above. Just print it in color on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need one print per shark craft.
- Next, using scissors, trim out the shark design, as well as the inside of the shark’s mouth for the placement of the picture. Don’t discard that white excess paper just yet!
- Now grab your child’s picture. Trim it down so it fits inside the shark mouth frame. Adhere it to the back of the printable with tape or a glue stick.
- Next – grab a sheet of dark blue cardstock. Adhere your newly made shark design to the center of the paper.
- Grab another sheet of lighter blue cardstock and cut out some “waves” for the bottom of the craft. Adhere it to the printable as well.
- Now grab the white excess paper from the original printable. Cut out several small triangular shapes for the shark’s teeth. Adhere those in place where the picture is.
- Finally and the last step for this Paper Shark Mouth craft, glue the large wiggle eyes on place, on the side of the shark design.
- Display proudly for all to see!
