Download and print out the hammerhead shark template. Cut out the different pieces and set aside.

Now it’s time to glue the pieces of your Hammer Head shark together. Use your glue stick or white school glue.

Cut out small pieces of white paper and add to the edges of your paper shark to create “shine” and give it more life.

Outline your shark craft using your black sharpie pen! You can make more than one shark and choose whatever colors you prefer. 

These are so super cute! You could use these for an Ocean unit study or put them on an ocean display board in the classroom! 

Now your hammerhead shark is complete, you can use your paper shark to create a fantastic and easy watercolor painting. 

All you need to do is create a fun watercolor background. Alternatively  you could glue your shark craft to construction paper.

Set up your watercolor paints using different shades of blue. Mix in some green and yellow for even more color.

Coat your paper in water until it’s damp but not soaked. Use a paintbrush for this step. Add your watercolor paints and cover the paper.

Mix in some various shades of blue until you’re happy with how your watercolor artwork looks.

Sprinkle a few pinches of salt across the wet paint. It’s important that you do this while the paint is wet, otherwise, it will not work.

The salt will create the paint to separate and cause an explosive looking effect.

Allow the paper to dry completely. This will take awhile since it was so wet.

Once dry, glue the hammerhead shark onto your watercolor background. You can also download our starfish printables and add these to the picture.

These would make wonderful bulletin board crafts. Print the hammerhead shark out in various colors for a really fun look! Enjoy!
