Few things captivate the imagination of a child like the thought of a shark's fin piercing the top of otherwise perfectly smooth water. The lone hint of the merciless and powerful creature swimming swiftly and gracefully just below the surface. I can clearly remember swimming just like that in the pool hands perched in that distinct fin like triangle on the back of my head going round and round my parents legs ready to explode out of the water. Most crafts aren't great for the water, but there are plenty to add that extra dollop of sharktastic fun to an otherwise dreary day stuck in the house. So whether you are making a shark mask to run around with or making shark crafts that you can put on the wall or your shelf, you are sure to have as much fun as a great white chasing down a barracuda.
Here are many Shark Crafts projects, activities, and ideas for you and your kids. Find out about Arts and Crafts Projects with Sharks following these crafts instructions, directions, and activities for children.
