This Shark Costume is perfect for your ocean loving toddler or kiddo is perfect for Halloween!
Shark Tank Costume
Ever since Shark Week became a thing (thank you, Discovery Channel!) in August, sharks have been the rage, and this shark costume is perfect for so many reasons.
Cute, affordable and could even be made to look a little scary if you are going for more the the scary attack shark costume vibe.
We found a wonderful online shark costume tutorial, you can find it here! We did make a couple of modifications. The pattern called for red felt to be sewn to the mouth hole and an oval cut out for the head. Instead, we added the red to the back of the mouth. You can see that in the pictures below.
We also used gray felt for the body of the shark. I felt like it keeps its form better than whatever material was used in the tutorial.
He wanted to show you guys what it would look like if he was actually swimming in the water! HA! I could have probably stuffed the dorsal fin with more pillow stuffing so it would stand up straighter. But he seems perfectly happy with how it turned out!
And, if you do end up making this shark costume, we found the perfect drink to make to go along with your shark theme: this Shark Bite drink recipe from She Shared!
