Materials

  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Markers
  • Glue stick
  • Tape or stapler
  • Shark headband template

Instructions

  • Download the shark headband template, print, and cut out the pieces.
  • Begin assembling the mouth by gluing the red tongue to the bottom of the mouth.
  • Take as many teeth as you want and glue them all around the outside of the mouth. Use the scissors to trim off any excess teeth for the best results.
  • Take the completed mouth and glue it to the middle-ish area of the light blue underbelly.
  • Use a black or gray marker to draw on two nose holes near the top of this section of paper.
  • Place this piece in the middle of the headband base and glue it in place.
  • Create the shark’s eyes by cutting out two small ovals from the black card stock. Use a standard hole punch or scissors to cut out a smaller circle from white paper. Glue the white paper onto the top of the black oval.
  • This will give your shark a happier look. If you don’t want that, leave off the white circle.
  • If you don’t want to cut out each small piece, just use a black marker to draw the eyes directly onto the blue paper.
  • Attach as many headband extenders as you need to fit your child’s head. We attached them to the base with tape, but you can also use a stapler.
