How to Make a Child's Shark Costume - - Simplicity and creativity are key when making an adorable shark costume for your child. Many of the items you'll need can be taken from your child's own closet, and the rest can be purchased at local craft, discount or thrift stores. Because this costume is comfortable and uncomplicated, it is ideal for toddlers and children in elementary school. It can also remain relevant for many years and be passed down from child to child through the generations.
How to Make a Model of a Shark - - There are lots of ways to make models of sharks including using cardboard tubes, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, papier mache, and clay. However, for the most realistic look and feel, clay works well. Shark skin feels smooth if you stroke them from head to tail-so clay will even give a realistic feel as well as look.
How to Make a Sandpaper Shark - - Using sandpaper for the "skin" of a cut-out shark replicates the feel of an actual shark. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, shark skin can be used to make leather and sandpaper. Modern technology can produce sandpaper in a more economical, mass-produced fashion, but this fact will interest students.
How to Make a Shark Fin Costume - - Whenever we think of sharks, one of the first things that might spring to mind is the most iconic feature of this carnivorous fish; the dorsal fin. As such, any good shark costume will be incomplete without a fin; you might even wear the fin on its own in certain circumstances. A shark fin is a basic shape, and making one that's attachable as a costume piece is relatively simple, but it's important to take care to make the fin fit comfortably and look believable.
