DIRECTIONS

The great part about this watermelon craft is that requires little prep and you are likely to have the materials on hand.

  1. Cut the paper plate in half.
  2. Cut the red and green cardstock into strips then cut into smaller squares that are simple for little ones to pick up on their own.
  3. Place the green pieces in one pile and the red in another.
  4. Place glue along the curve (bottom part) of the paper plate and glue on the green squares. This part is the watermelon rind.
  5. Next, add glue to the rest of the paper plate and glue on the red squares.
  6. Finally, using a black marker add dots on some of the red squares to look like watermelon seeds.
