If shark week is a regular *thing* in your household or classroom, just add these shark clothespin puppets to your “to do” list.
These puppets are incredibly easy to make and kids love them. If you have younger children, they are great for story time or helping them improve their fine motor skills, while older children will love playing with them in a variety of imaginative scenarios.
Combine these puppets with any of the others in our clothespin sets and you’ll have hours of fun playing.
Who can resist a cute (and ferocious) shark like this?
What you need
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.
