This year (2015) Shark Week kicks off on Sunday, July 5th on the Discovery Channel. Can you believe the Discovery Channel is celebrating a quarter century of Shark Weeks? That’s a lot of shark watching! Whether you are fascinated or totally frightened by sharks, there is no escaping Shark Week. I think you and your kids will really enjoy the shark crafts I have rounded up.
Sharks have been getting a lot of attention recently with the recent shark attacks off the North Carolina coast. My son has always been fascinated by sharks, but I must admit that the scare me silly yet I find myself glued to the television during Shark Week.
Shark Week is a great learning opportunity for the whole family. To celebrate Shark Week, I’ve rounded up 20 fun shark crafts for kids. They are all so creative!
6. Oven Mitt Shark Puppet Tutorial
10. Mr. Shark Alphabet Chomper Game
20. Feed the Shark Alphabet Game

So many cool and fun shark crafts here for the kids. Will make for a ton of fun this weekend. Love that some of these are games too! Feed the shark is perfect for promoting learning.
These are great! My granddaughters wil love this! (Can you believe that the movie JAWS is now 40 years old? Where did the time go??)
I love these, lol! There’s always at least one new show during Shark Week that completely freaks me out.
Love working/playing with felt so the felt finger puppet is a must-try. Although the pencil holder looks like it would be fun to make too. Lots of great themed craft projects
These are such fun cute shark ideas to spend doing with my niece and nephew over the Summer. I like the Shark paper plate idea!
These are cute shark crafts, I like the Shark Bite Picture Frame and the Shark Binoculars. Thank you for sharing these links.
