Hello Shark Week, well not now, but it’s coming up. My younger son loves sharks so I’m looking at creating some printables for him. He’s well beyond this baby stuff, he’d call it but it’s great for his sister. If you have a shark lover, you’ll love these shark printables for kids.
If you have a shark lover, you’ll love the other shark activities for kids.
There are 3 part cards with 7 sharks and then separate pages for each of the sharks for your little one to practice writing their names.
What’s not to love about sharks? They’re strong and fierce with sharp teeth that can tear you apart. This is why they’re my son’s favorite sea creature. He told me all about megalodon, the largest shark of all time in the prehistoric era. I’ve read plenty of shark books with him and he just can’t get enough.
Shark Printables for Kids
Make certain that you print out these fun shark printables. Not only are they super fun for the kids to be but they’re great for learning as well.
Anytime my kids tend to have a fear with something, we always take the time to learn about it. This has been really helpful in our household when it comes to sharks because it educates them in a way that makes them not fearful at ll.
Recommended Shark Books for Kids
Don’t you love that you can see what sharks look like and you don’t have to leave your house? Be certain to go through and read these shark books with the kids.
Books are a great way to get the kids engaged and also wanting to learn more. The more that you can take the time to go through the pages with them, the more that you can then take the time to talk to them more about it as well.
These books are all great and full of information. Some are more factual than others but all offer a ton of reading pages for the kids.

Recommended Shark Toys
Dig out a shark tooth like a real anthropologist so you can see what it’s like to look for fossils. The more toys that you can use to incorporate into the lesson, the better!
Some kids do a much better job with learning if they can have a hands-on approach. Toys allow for that and so much more! Toys are so important when it comes to creative learning and play!
