Make some yummy ocean jello with sharks for a sweet treat.
Shark week is a fun time to learn about these marvelous creatures that rule the oceans. I whipped up some shark week jello treats that are super cute and yummy too. They are a great little dessert to serve while working through the activities in my Shark Activity Pack.
To make the jello treats, you only need two ingredients, blue jello and whipped cream. Make the jello in a square dish and when it is set, cut it into cubes.
Fill a clear cup up with jello leaving an inch for the whipped cream. Add a shark decoration or lollipop. I got these lollipops on Amazon for super cheap.
There is a fun tag in my Pirate Party too that could be used to package up goldfish crackers as a little gifty during Shark Week!
Shark Week Activity Pack
Download and print this fun activity pack. It is filled with information, games and fun. Some of it is geared towards little kids and other parts for older kids. I created it with a family doing it together in mind and wanted to have something for everyone.
If you want to print the mini shark book to add to goody bags or at a place setting, it is super cute too! Just print page one on the back page two and cut it down the middle then fold and staple.

- Drop a few off at the local coffee shop with fun pencils to spread some happy.
- Cut them up to make cards, gift wrap and decorations.

Shark Squishies
I designed this die for Ellison Education and Sizzix. I love it because the mouth comes out. Use a shark die to cut out the shape from a squishie block and then paint it into a shark.
YAY for SHARKS!
