Mr. Shark Alphabet Chomper Game

Meet our newest alphabet friend, Mr. Shark! He’s a playful and creative character we made out of a simple envelope. With his toothy grin and sleek design, Mr. Shark is not only fun to create but also a fantastic way to introduce letters to your little ones. Kids can build letter recognition while having hands-on fun. It’s an engaging activity that blends learning with creativity – perfect for making letters come to life in a memorable way!

And you say, “Mr. Shark is hungry for the letter…(and say a letter).” Your child finds the correct letter and feeds him to your shark while you say “Chomp, chomp, chomp!”

Want to know how to make your own Mr. Shark??

Supplies you will need:

  • Letter-size envelope
  • gray marker or crayon
  • large wiggly eye
  • 3 inch pieces of white yarn
  • white felt
  • glue stick
  • hot glue gun

Step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare your envelope

Seal your envelope and color it gray.

2. Make the mouth

Cut a triangle piece out of one side of your envelope to make the mouth.

3. Make the fin

Take the triangle piece you just cut out, put some glue on the inside of it to seal it together, and then glue it to the back of the envelope to make the fin.

4. Add eye and make gills

Glue on the large wiggly eye and the 3 pieces of yarn. The yarn makes the gills for the shark.

5. Time for mouth

Cut out some teeth from the white felt and attach them to the mouth of the shark.

6. Prepare flashcards

Now make some flashcards (mine are approx 2 1/2″ x 2″) and have fun playing the Alphabet Chomper Game.

If you make this fun craft and game, make sure you come back and let me how it went!
