Sharp-Teeth Shark

Kids reel in their imaginations with this Sharp-Teeth Shark! This edgy torn-paper shark contrasts with crisp marker lines to assure an under-sea adventure.

1. Gently tear away pieces of a sheet of construction paper until you have the shape of a shark. If you prefer, lightly sketch the shark before tearing it out. Tear out the shark's jaws so its teeth can show.

2. Draw sharp shark teeth with a Crayola® Washable Marker on other paper. Did you know that shark teeth are black? Cut out the teeth with Crayola Scissors.

3. With a Crayola Glue Stick, attach the shark to another piece of construction paper. Glue the teeth in the shark's mouth.

4. Draw fish, plants, and other ocean scenes around the shark. Draw bubbles and lines around the shark to show that it is prowling through the water.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"This shark sparked lots of questions: How fast do they swim? How big are their teeth? Art really got kids to think!"
Doris B., mom of ages 5 and 7.

"I always get kids involved with this idea! We top off the cool artwork with storytelling or books about sharks."
Jere L., teenage babysitter.

Sharks have lived for millions of years. In fact, some ancient shark species existed before dinosaurs. Some sharks can live to be 100 years old! No matter how old sharks get, they always have a full set of sharp black teeth. Why? Because sharks have extra teeth stored inside their jaws that rotate forward to replace lost or worn teeth.
