Instructions:
1. Prepare the Template Pieces
Print the free PDF shark template. Use the shapes to cut out the following parts:
From blue or light blue paper: one large square, three fins (top, sides and one tail piece
From white paper: one large square and two strips of teeth
2. Make the Shark’s Body
Glue the blue square on top of the white square so the corners match, to form a cone shape, and glue it to secure.
3. Add the Shark’s Teeth
Glue the white zigzag teeth strips along the inside edge of the shark’s mouth (the open side of the cone).
4. Attach the Fins and Tail
Glue the top fin to the top of the cone, the side fins to each side, and the tail to the back.
5. Finish the Face
Cut out the eyes from the template and glue them on—or use googly eyes for extra fun. Use a black marker to draw gills.
This shark craft is a great way to practice fine motor skills, cutting, and gluing. Plus, kids will love playing with their finished shark!
