Frozen outdoor shark hunt - Add toy sharks to paper cups of water, add a few drops of color  (optional), and freeze. Kids can try to "save" the shark by melting the ice with water or using spoons to dig them out. This is a fun outdoor activity on shark-week hot days!

Shark Sensory Bin - grab a kiddy pool or any large plastic bin, and add rocks, sand, water beads, toy sharks and fish, and water. Enjoy!

Snacks to eat:  

If you love watermelon as much as we do in this house, this is a fun way to celebrate Shark Week at home!
