Directions:

First print out the watermelon slice template printable, listed above in the supply list, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per watermelon button craft.
Now grab your school glue and put a line of glue along the green rim of the watermelon.
Have children place their green buttons on top of the glue, until the rim is completely covered.
Now grab the black buttons {aka – seeds} and have children glue them in the center where the pink/red of the watermelon is.
Once done, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
Don’t forget to snap a few pictures during and after, so I can see what you both come up with! #gluedtomycrafts
