ART & CREATIVITY
WATERMELON TORN PAPER CRAFT
Watermelon Torn paper craft is a very simple summer craft, but it entertains for a while because the children have to take the time to rip up all of the paper pieces first. Give each child a glue stick and let them paste the pieces of red, pink, and green inside the slice to form a watermelon. We will finish this fun and hands-on watermelon craft with some fingerprints to represent the seeds. After carefully dipping the index finger into washable black paint, "seeds" were then dabbed all over the watermelon. This really is one of the cutest paper plate crafts.
WATEERMELON SPONGE PAINING CRAFT
Watermelon sponge painting craft interesting activity for toddlers and babies. Cut several sponges into triangle shapes, rounding the bottoms to give it the shape of a watermelon’s rind. Place the sponge in the paint and place on the paper, then use our finger to finger paint the rind of the watermelon with green paints and then dots again for the seeds with black paints.
WATERMELON PUFFY PAINT CRAFT
Mixing glue, shaving cream, and food coloring in a bowl. Mix equal parts of glue and shaving cream. Stir it until you get stiff peaks in it. Take the red paint and start painting the inside of the watermelon and then take the green puffy paint and go around the outside to make the rind. Put dots all over the watermelon to make the seeds with black paint and you're done! This is the perfect summer activity.
