Things to do during Shark Week

• Get snacks ready to accompany your favourite shows (our shark tote bags are a fun way to carry home all your favorite supplies!).
• Encourage the kids to get involved in some shark-themed crafts. There are so many great ideas on Pinterest to check out. 
• Top up your shark knowledge with some trivia. Did you know that some sharks have bioluminescent properties, meaning they glow in the dark? Nature is truly a fascinating thing.
• Show off your love for these magnificent creatures with our collection of shark products. Every BeCause purchase supports charities, including the Ocean Cleanup North Pacific Foundation, which supports initiatives to rid the oceans of plastic.
