This Easy Shark Craft is Super Easy to Make

Shark Craft Supplies

• Empty water bottle with the label off (Tip: Use Vegetable Oil and a paper towel to scrub off residue. Then, use a sponge with water to make bottle non-sticky)
• Elmer’s Blue Glitter Glue
• Glitter (Blue or Silver)
• Water
• Grey Foam Paper
• Scissors
• Shark Stencil printed on heavy card stock paper

Shark Craft Instructions

Print shark template on card stock paper. Trace stencil on gray foam paper. Cut with scissors and set shark aside. We decided to draw an eye using a permanent marker.

Pour blue glitter glue in an empty water bottle. We used half of the glue bottle. When we filled the bottle with the entire glue bottle it made it very dark and hard to see the shark. Remember, the less blue glue you put inside equals lighter water making it easier to see the shark.

Fill the bottle with water and leave some room for the shark to fit later. Pour blue glitter to your preference.

Fold or roll the shark to be able to fit into the bottle. Push through the bottle. Close with bottle lid and shake the bottle to mix.

Consider hot gluing the water bottle top to ensure it doesn’t come off. Nothing could be worse than having exploding blue glue glitter on your nice carpet.
