This shark painting with cookie cutters is so much fun! Plus there are so many great shark books you can read. We have enjoyed The Ultimate Book of Sharks<\/a>. It has so much you can learn about sharks!<\/p>\n This shark painting project is a great mix of watercolor and painting with q-tips and cookie cutters.<\/p>\n These are all the steps we used to make the shark cookie cutter painting. You can also find suggestions for changing this up for different ages.<\/p>\n You start by drawing a circle in the center. This is super easy this is the area we will leave white. <\/p>\n Now if you have younger kids you might want to draw the circle and do several of rings out to make the colors of blue in the watercolors.<\/p>\n You start painting outside of the circle that you draw. You start with the lightest watercolor blue for the first. <\/p>\n You can see how we kept outside the circle in the middle<\/p>\n Then you work out and adding the different colors of blue. If you have younger kids you can draw a circle mentioned above for where the different colors of blue go.<\/p>\n Also if you are worried about painting the table you can put paper under the painting. But I’ll tell you we use a magic eraser<\/a> to clean up the paint.<\/p>\n You place the shark cookie cutter<\/a> on the paper. You can start with the big or small cookie cutter. It does not matter which you do first. You want to make sure to hold it as still as you can.<\/p>\n Then you use the q-tip to paint inside the cookie cutter. I love the q-tip for the fine motor they get.<\/p>\n You can see how fun the shark looks after you paint it.<\/p>\n A fun tip is that is the shark does not look all filled out you can do a touch up paint after you remove the cookie cutter.<\/p>\n Then you move on to the next shark! You can put as many or as few sharks as you want!<\/p>\n If you love the sharks but don’t like the idea of using cookie cutters. Check out the ocean animal craft with free templates<\/a>. It has a great shark template you can print off and use. Plus a few other ocean animals as well.<\/p>\n Shark Fin Painting with Cookie Cutters for Kids<\/a> is a simple painting activity with shark fins.<\/p>\n Shark Water Bead Sensory Bin<\/a> is great to learn the match different sharks and then learn where the sharks are in the ocean.<\/p>\n Shark Shape Matching Puzzles<\/a> has 12 matching puzzles for kids to use.<\/p>\n Shark Dot the Number Count the Number<\/a> is a great way to count from 0 to 20.<\/p>\n Check out all the fun Shark Printables & Activities<\/a> on 3 Dinosaurs.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fshark-cookie-cutter-painting-with-q-tip-watercolors%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fimages%2Fblog%2F7-2021%2Fshark-cookie-cutter-painting-q-tip.jpg&description=Shark%20Cookie%20Cutter%20Painting%20with%20Q-tip%20%26%20Watercolors%20-%20a%20fun%20painting%20activity%20that%20kids%20of%20different%20ages%20can%20do.%20It%20is%20a%20fun%20way%20to%20work%20on%20colors%20and%20fine%20motor%20painting%20with%20q-tips%20and%20watercolors%20-%203Dinosaurs.com%20%23sharkweek%20%23sharkpainting%20%23paintingforkids%20%233dinosaurs\")
