✂️ Materials you need
To make this easy shark window art craft, you will need:
- Shark silhouette image templates (provided in the free printable)
- Circle outline template
- Light blue or dark blue tissue paper
- Clear contact paper or laminating sheets
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Black construction paper (optional for extra sharks)
- String or tape (if hanging)
✅ Tip: Print the templates on thick paper to make cutting and gluing easier for little hands.
📝 Step-by-step instructions
Here are the simple steps to make your shark window art craft.
🦈 Step 1: Print your templates
Download and print the shark silhouette image templates and the circle outline template from the provided PDF. There are different shark shapes to choose from, so kids can pick their favorite.
✂️ Step 2: Cut out the shark silhouettes
Carefully cut out the shark shapes from the printed template. If your child is very young, you can pre-cut the shark silhouettes for them. Older kids can practice their fine motor skills by cutting on their own.
🎨 Step 3: Prepare your tissue paper pieces
Take your blue tissue paper and tear or cut it into small squares or pieces. These will be used to create the ocean background in your window art.
✅ Tip: Mixing light blue and dark blue tissue paper makes the ocean look more beautiful and real.
🪟 Step 4: Create your ocean window
- Cut a piece of clear contact paper or laminating sheet slightly larger than your circle template.
- Peel off the backing of the contact paper and place it sticky side up on the table.
- Place the circle outline template on top of the contact paper to create the window frame.
- Let kids stick the blue tissue paper pieces inside the circle frame to cover all the sticky area. This will look like blue ocean water.
✅ Make sure there are no big gaps between tissue pieces to make it bright and colorful in the sunlight.
🦈 Step 5: Add the sharks
Once the tissue paper background is ready:
- Place the shark silhouette cutouts onto the tissue paper ocean scene.
- Press them down gently to stick them well.
✅ Kids can add one shark or create a group of sharks swimming together.
✂️ Step 6: Seal your window art
If you are using contact paper, cover the sticky side with another piece of contact paper to seal the art.
If you used a laminating sheet, place another laminating sheet on top and laminate them together. This will make the window art strong and last long.
🪟 Step 7: Display your shark window art
Your beautiful shark window art is ready! You can:
- Tape it on windows to let the sunlight shine through the tissue paper ocean
- Hang it with string in your classroom as an ocean-themed decoration
- Use it as part of an ocean bulletin board display
✅ When sunlight shines through, it looks like sharks are swimming in the ocean!
