‘Shark Days’ allows kids to enjoy final days of Spring Break

Children colored in sharks with different markers and colored pencils.

Alpena- Children enjoyed another year of sharks at the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary on Thursday and Friday.

Kids created hammerhead sharks, made shark arts and crafts, watched shark films, and of course played shark attack to celebrate the fish we don’t get to see up here. Children also performed mini science projects to learn about water and substances in the water that pertain to sharks. This the second year of this two day event which celebrates sharks and eases any fear that a child might have of these interesting fish.  Each session was made up of 20-30 children.
