Fun with Sharks
Watching Shark Week on Discovery Channel of course is super fun, but you can extend the fun and learning by incorporating sharks into the weeks activities. No matter the age, shark stencils are a great way to introduce drawing without fear of messing up. Have you, or the kids, ever wondered what the inside of a shark looks like? Well, a shark anatomy kit you can peek inside and give a science lesson at the same time.
Who doesn’t love LEGO Bricks? And with this kit you can use it as a story starter prompt, for a quick and easy creative writing assignment. 1000 Piece Shark Puzzle should keep the kids busy on a rainy summer day. Oh and Yes! That’s right, a shark water slide for your own backyard, the Banzai 3D Shark Bite Slide, will keep the Shark fun laughter echoing all summer long.
One more activity just for fun! Lemon Shark Digital Jigsaw Puzzle from National Geographic.
