• “Dad, you’re Jawsome!” – with a happy shark.
• “You’re a reel catch, Dad!” – featuring a shark holding a fishing pole.
• “I chews you, Dad!” – a hammerhead shark in a tie.
• “You’re fintastic, Dad!” – a cool shark with sunglasses.
• “No-fin compares to you, Dad!” – a dapper shark in a bowtie.
• “There’s some-fin special about you, Dad!” – two small sharks showing love.

Each design is black-and-white for easy printing and perfect for coloring. Kids can use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to bring each shark to life.

Turn It into a Craft Project

Cut out the shark from the card front and glue it onto colored construction paper for a layered look. You could even add googly eyes or felt for texture. Or use finger paints for a fun way to dress up cards.

Make a Father’s Day Banner

Print several cards, cut out the fronts, and string them together with ribbon or yarn. Hang it up as a “Happy Fathers Day” banner filled with sharks and silly puns!

Frame the Art

Instead of folding the paper, keep it flat and color it like a mini poster. Then pop it into a dollar store frame. It becomes a keepsake Dad can keep on his desk or dresser.

There’s really no limit to how creative you can get.
