I originally saw the idea for this shark craft on Pinterest. I’ve been so excited to make it with my kids for Shark Week. The only difference in our craft is we added the recycled element by using newspaper to make our shark. I love the added texture the newspaper brings to the craft, don’t you?
Supplies Needed for this Shark Craft
– light blue, dark blue, black and white cardstock paper
– newspaper
– googly eyes
– scissors
– glue
Directions for this Shark Newspaper Craft
1. Cut out shark face shape from newspaper and glue it onto cardstock paper
Start by cutting out your shark face shape from your newspaper. The fun part about this craft is how everyone creates a personalized shark by how they cut out their face. You can make it skinny or wide, short or tall, however you choose. Glue your shark face onto your light blue cardstock paper.
2. Cut out ocean waves and glue them underneath shark face
Cut out ocean waves from your dark blue cardstock paper (or construction paper) and glue them at the bottom of your light blue paper, underneath your shark face.
3. Cut out shark mouth and teeth, glue onto shark face together with eyes
Cut out a shark mouth and teeth from your black and white cardstock paper. Glue them onto your shark face, together with your googly eyes.
