I have to be honest, folks. I didn’t enjoy either of these episodes for different reasons. But then, I’m a science nerd, not an entertainment junkie.

Sharks Gone Wild 2 –

This sort of episode is great for people who don’t know much about sharks or like jump scares. While the scripting did point out that messing around with sharks was dangerous, the film clips were deliberately sensationalist.

Shark Week Immersion –

I had never seen Rooster Teeth’s Immersion series before this, I tend to equate them with Red vs. Blue and RWBY. I found it to be an odd mix of MythBusters and internet trolling. It was interesting to see how sharks are portrayed in video games, though.

Shark Week 2019 Summary –

Overall, I really enjoyed this year. While there were some shows I disliked, most were both entertaining and informative. I am well aware that I am biased when dealing with documentaries and science shows, and that my opinion is no better or worse than anyone else’s. I woul dearly love for Discovery channel to kill Shark After Dark, as I find it a waste of a perfectly good time slot, and that all it does is recap the episodes of the day. Also, I want more diverse sharks! There are hundreds of different shark species, not just the popular Great White, Tiger, Mako, Bull and Hammerhead.

Todays review is a little different, a friend of mine convinced me to pick up a paper craft kit from the local discount store. To my shock, I really enjoyed assembling it!

This is ArtZone Paper Sculpt Shark by Trends International. It is a preformed kit of heavy paper that is scored for folding with a tab system that is meant to be glued into place.

This kit includes 2 sheets of heavy paper printed on one side with numbers for assembly, and on the other side with shark coloration. There is a tube of craft glue, a paintbrush and some basic instructions.

I started out by folding each piece along the marked lines, then started to glue the end pieces to each other.

The assembly of this craft is a little tricky. Any time I work with glue, I get it all over my hands. The procedure is simple, you match the numbered tabs to the corresponding numbered space and glue. Slowly, my shark started to take shape!

While the midsection is a little mangled, I’m rather proud of this! I haven’t done any sort of paper models quite like this!

Disability Notes: I can definitely recommend this craft for people with good hand/eye coordination. The numbers are clearly printed, but some of the tabs are very small and you need good focus. I did this on a good hand day, and Hime showed a lot of interest, so I’d rate the age range from 10+.

Where to buy: Trends International Shark Paper Sculpt Model is available on Amazon for $5.99 USD. Unfortunately, Trends International no longer carries this product, so Amazon or your local discount store may be the only place to find these.
