Egg Carton Shark Craft story

Recycle those old egg cartons to make some adorable shark crafts this summer.

Make a shark family by painting them in different colours and next time, your little ones will be super excited to dance along the nursery rhyme “baby shark do do do” while holding them.

This is a great craft idea to teach your kids about the concept of recycling things in a fun way. This shark craft also makes a wonderful craft for earth day!
