April 8 - Baby Shark

"I'm Sharkboy. Protector of the ocean. Defender of all things deep."

~ The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl

There was a day when you would mention a shark and people used to say "Duh nuh..." in a low, ominous tone.   Then gradually increase in tempo, "Duh nuh ... Duh nuh.. Duh nuh. Duhnuhduhnuhduhnuh.  *SCREAMS*"

Now you mention a shark you get a sing-song.  "Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!"

Cancel that order, our boat is big enough.

This baby shark is based on a tutorial by the Balloon Brothers where they show "three" sizes - quotes intentional because baby shark is really just an un-toothy medium and feels like it was added for the zeitgeist.   

I ended up building it downsized to get more of a baby scale, though honestly, with that extra balloon length, I probably could have stretched the body a bit more to offset how wide the face is.
