Sharks are fearsome predators that strike fear into the hearts of many. But they are also one of the most misunderstood creatures on earth, thanks to movies like Jaws and the way the media latches onto shark attacks. Here are a few interesting shark facts that you might like to discuss while making a cool paper bracelet…

Fascinating shark facts for kids

  • On average sharks kill less than 10 people worldwide per year – you’re actually far more likely to die from a bee sting or a lightning strike
  • Sharks have been on earth for at least 420 million years. In contrast, humans have been around for an estimated 200,000 years
  • Sharks have several rows of teeth and can have up to 3000 teeth in their mouth at one time. If one tooth falls out, another moves forward to replace it
  • Sharks are considered apex predators, meaning they are at the top of the food chain. Although interestingly, there have been some Orcas known to hunt notorious Great White sharks
  • Sharks have no bones at all, their skeleton is made of cartilage
  • Sharks have a sixth sense, known as electroreceptors. This helps them to detect prey even when it’s hiding or camouflaged

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
