Instructions
- Step 1: Print the Template Download and print the free watermelon craft template. Option 1: Print it out on white paper and let kids use markers or crayons to color it. Option 2: Print the template pieces on colored paper.
- Step 2: Cut Out the Pieces Cut out the red triangle “fruit” section and the green rectangle outer layer (that’s the rind!).
- Step 3: Build the Triangle Base Use three popsicle sticks to form a triangle. Paint two popsicle sticks red, or use already colored popsicle sticks. Glue the ends together and let dry for a minute or two. Tip: For a faster, no-drying-time craft, use glue dots instead of liquid glue.
- Step 4: Glue on the Watermelon Glue the red triangle shape inside the popsicle stick frame. Then, glue the green rind along the outer edges to complete the look. Optional: Use scissors to round the edges of the green rind to match the curve of the popsicle sticks.
- Step 5: Decorate! Add watermelon seeds with a marker or tiny cutouts, and you’re done! Your watermelon slice is ready to display or use for pretend play.Optional: Glue on googly eyes and and draw on a mouth with the marker.
