Your Child Can Take a Bite Out Of Shark Week With These Fun Finds

Forget the 4th of July or even the summer solstice. The main attraction during the summer season is Shark Week. And this year, the Discovery Channel is upping the ante by offering with even more intense shows and over 20 unstoppable hours of sharktastic programming.

In my house, Shark Week is almost like a religious experience. Almost all of my cooking shows (sorry, Pioneer Woman) are deleted on the DVR to make room for shows like “Shark Trip: Eat. Prey. Chum.” But it’s not so much about the carnage, chaos and rows and rows of teeth that is Shark Week, but the bonding experience that ensues between my husband and older son. They’ll love spending time together watching shows like “Expedition Unknown: Megalodon”, for example. The good news is that you don’t have to celebrate Shark Week by being glued to your TV. There are other ferociously fun ways to partake in Shark Week, and they’re appropriate for fishies of all ages.

JAWS Game

Inspired by the movie that started it all, the JAWS Game from Ravensburger will bring out your family’s competitive edge—and survival skills. JAWS features a double-sided game board played in two acts that pits Chief Brody, Quint, and Hopper against the Great White. ($30, target.com)

Build-A-Bear Shark Week

If you thought that Build-A-Bear only offers teddies and tutus, think again. During Shark Week, your kiddo can create a super cute Tiger Shark or Whale Shark that is sure to be a fave companion come cuddle time.
