Cute Baby Shark Merchandise

So, have you heard the Baby Shark song yet? If you are a teacher or parent – or are even remotely active on the Internet – I’m sure you have by now. The Baby Shark Song is quite popular . . . and annoyingly addictive. Seriously, it is one of those songs that gets in your mind and just hovers for days . . . in the background of everything you say, think, or do.

But that is exactly why kids LOVE it! It is annoying, repetitive, and completely endearing all at the same time. And really, who can resist the idea of a Baby Shark? I mean – potentially dangerous, yet cuddly. Am I right?

Love the song or hate it – you’ve gotta check out some of this great Baby Shark merchandise I found. If you have shark-loving kids in your life, I bet you’ll find some things here that they would just love. Personally, I love the Teacher Shark T-Shirts at the bottom of the list. I want them all!

Make Your Own Shark Activities

Puzzles are a great learning tool, and I make a variety of super cute puzzles in all shapes and sizes. You can use puzzles to help kids learn all kinds of things – particularly in Math and English. Whether kids are learning addition, multiplication, nouns, or contractions – practice is key. With puzzles, kids actually enjoy practicing – solving the puzzle so they can put their puzzle together.

If you would like to incorporate a shark puzzle into your lessons, I’ve got you covered. Just click here to find an editable shark-shaped puzzle in my TpT store! These shark activities work great for math problems, sight words, literacy concepts, foreign language teachers, homeschool families, and much more.

Also Great for Decor!

If you incorporate my editable Shark Puzzles into your lesson plans as part of an overall celebration of Shark Week, I’m sure you can imagine how cute all those colorful shark puzzles would look when hung up together. And kids love to help make decorations! These shark puzzles would be fun in the classroom on bulletin boards or as doorway decorations. They’d even make wonderful hallway displays! Just have your students cut them out, solve their puzzles, and then color their adorable sharks any way they wish. And the principal can’t even complain that your beautiful displays aren’t academic enough because the students worked so hard to put them together.
