It's Shark Week! If you aren't familiar with Shark Week, it's basically just a week of programming that Discovery Channel does annually. It's pretty awesome and educational. My kids love sharks. In fact, my 6 year old had a shark themed birthday just last month. (Did you know that sharks were here before dinosaurs!) Shark week comes at a perfect time too; towards the end of summer break where moms need some exciting weekday activities for kids. I have a simple craft to share that involves minimal preparation, is simple yet engaging, and is composed of items you likely already have at home! (If you have craft popsicle sticks, check out these summer crafts too - Olympic Torch, Seashell Frame.) For another really creative shark craft, check out Jensongrey.com's Shark Week Paper Craft.

Of course, to incorporate a little education to accompany this shark mouth craft, here's a PBS Kids video about Shark Teeth.
SUPPLIES:

1. 1 piece of red construction paper or cardstock.
2. 1 piece of white paper
3. 4 large craft popsicle sticks
4. Grey paint (We mixed black and white to make a very dark grey.)
5. Glue of Choice
6. Scissors
7. Black Marker
(Optional - A piece of blue construction paper.)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Paint your popsicle sticks grey. (Or black, or blue or coloring of your choosing.) Let dry.
2. Glue your popsicle sticks in a diamond shape.
3. Draw teeth on the white paper. I did this for the kids, so the teeth would be relatively the same size. I folded the paper in half and drew them along the fold to get double the teeth when you cut them out.

4. Cut out the teeth, and glue them onto the back (unpainted) side of mouth.

5. Trace the outside of the diamond onto a red sheet of paper, and cut out the diamond shape.
6. Glue the red diamond to back of the popsicle sticks.
7. Draw eyes. Cut out and glue them to the top on front side of the mouth. (You can put them on the left and right corners to make it look like a Hammerhead too!)

8. We glued ours to a blue sheet of construction paper and the kids put a few stickers on. But, I'm sure there are a multitude of creative things to do with the shark mouths.

Some other activities we are planning to do this week:
Happy Shark Week!

Setting the time and functions on this watch is - although it might link appear different - very easy. Besides the setting and winding crown, the watch has two small pushers link on each side of the watch for correcting the link complications.
Success in this space requires more than a name link share and the hope that popularity in one space will link beget the same in another. Yes, in some ways, Porsche has never been more popular than it is now, but let's link not forget that it had a racing partnership with Chopard that spanned the brand's exceedingly successful 919 Hybrid program for the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Wrapping up with my personal favorite, the above wooden Gucci watch. Okay, so it doesn't have a wooden dial but it deserves an honorable mention! It's made from Macassar ebony wood and solid yellow gold with a buckle fastening and houses a manual movement. I heard a rumor on a certain link somebody's instagram link page that the case was even made by the same case maker as Cartier. link Still on my mission to get to the bottom of that so don't quote me!
But it's 2020, and leap day is on the horizon so some of the editorial team took a look at the modern perpetual calendar offerings and selected the models link they would love to be wearing when 29 magically becomes 1. It's a varied list of calendar all-stars, but we couldn't pick everything. Be sure to let us know in the comments what link you'd like to have link on wrist as an extra-long February comes to an end.
