Queue Jaws Theme Song to set the stage for my “Fin-tastic” Great White Shark Hand Puppet!! I tend to get carried away with “waves” of creativity during Discovery Channel’s Shark Week designing and sharing “jaw-some” things shark related. I decided to “sink my teeth” into a great idea and make this fun puppet creation!

Get creative with these puppets. Children and adults will love the inventive ways to use these puppets that allow imagination to grow!! They provide hours and hours of fun! Make a pair to create shark mittens! There is definitely something fun about walking about in winter with two sharks on your hands! LOL!!

Please check out the new beginning graphic in the video tutorial designed and developed by my brother Nabeel. He and his wife own and operate NFD Graphics. Please hop over to their Facebook page and show them some love! For all your graphic and video/logo design needs be sure to contact them today!
