Sharks

 


There are over 470 different species of shark, living in seas all over the world and at depths of up to 2,000 metres! We've got some lovely shark crafts which the kids will enjoy, as well as printables for all ages and a variety of shark colouring pages.

Sharks for kids

Fun fact: The smallest species of shark measures only 17cm long; the largest can measure 12 metres!

Most of us would prefer not to meet any sharks when out and about - but that's not to say that we can't have some fun with them here!
