How to make a shark clothespin

What you need

Step by step instructions

Start by printing out the templates. The heavier the paper, the better (although you can also laminate the puppets).

If you print the black and white version, it’s best to color it before cutting, so go ahead and let your kids color the puppets in whatever colors they feel best suit their little sharks.

Next comes the cutting part. Cut out the outline of the shark.

Also cut along the mouth line.

You’re almost done! Take your clothespin and apply glue to the clip (try not to get any glue on the clip or the clothespin will stick).

Glue the top of the puppet to the top grip area and glue the body to the bottom.

Done!

Your shark clothespin puppet is ready to play.
