Attach 2 mini chocolate chips on the top sides for the eyes. Place one cut out graham cracker on your work surface. Cut a jumbo marshmallow in half. Squeeze icing on one side & press on the graham cracker. Squeeze more frosting on top like this….Then press on the top shark face graham cracker…let dry.

Shark Attack Lunch
You make this shark lunch using bread, peanut butter, blueberry jelly, banana, 1 grape, vanilla yogurt, and gold fish crackers.
Then cut out the bread into a shark shape. Use the left over scraps for the fin. Spread peanut butter on inside and put the jelly on the outside. Cut a banana for the teeth, eyes, and fin. Cut 1 grape in half for the eye. Put 1 drop of blue food coloring in our yogurt and mixed it up. Lastly, spread that around for water and then added our gold fish crackers.
Hope everyone enjoys these cute shark themed food and maybe want to try out one or two of them.
