Paper Shark Mouth Kid Craft Idea – includes a w/free printable template to get you started on your crafty adventure!!!

I originally intended this post to go live during Shark Week but ya know…life happens. So forgive me BUT I hope you still take advantage of this post {maybe even bookmarking or pinning it for next year when #sharkweek comes around again!}

It’s still a great idea for the shark fans in your home or just a summer themed craft to make today.

So whether you use this idea at home OR in a classroom setting, we hope the free shark mouth template comes in handy for you! Just download, print, add your child’s picture in the “mouth” frame and add some cardstock pieces to complete the custom DIY. Then display as is, place in a frame or keep it safely in a scrapbook.

Find the FREE shark mouth template below! Don’t forget to share pictures with us as well after you complete the craft!!!

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Shark Mouth – Kid Craft Supplies:

• Free Shark Mouth Template {download HERE}
• White Cardstock
• Color Printer
• Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
• Adhesive like tape, glue stick
• Your Child’s Picture {a 5×7 print size is perfect!}
• Colored Cardstock {shades of blue}
• Large Wiggle Eyes {two per craft}

Directions:

• First download and print the free paper shark mouth file above. Print it in color on simple white cardstock. 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 download. 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!
