This shark float is the fun and unique shark week drink for kids! Made with Hawaiian Punch, ice cream, and shark gummies, kids will love this easy and delicious shark drink. This kid-friendly drink is perfect for parties, celebrations, shark week, or as a cool summer drink.
When I’m making these shark floats for summer, I love pairing them with these shark yogurt cups or these sea life snack cups because they are all easy poolside snacks that kids can enjoy. When I make these for shark week, I make these delicious shark attack cupcakes that both kids and adults enjoy.
