Coffee Filter Watermelon - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

It’s time for a fun & crafty summer activity! If you’re feeling creative, why not give this coffee filter watermelon craft a go – it’s super easy and sure to make your summer days even sweeter!

Coffee Filter Watermelon - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Watermelon Coffee Filter Craft

Turn ordinary coffee filters into awesome pretend play watermelon slices with today’s simple art project tutorial! Just in time for summer break!

Not only is our Coffee Filter Watermelon Slice craft idea PERFECT for every day craft time BUT it also goes along PERFECTLY with the book The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli.

“With perfect comic pacing, Greg Pizzoli introduces us to one funny crocodile who has one big fear: swallowing a watermelon seed. What will he do when his greatest fear is realized? Will vines sprout out his ears? Will his skin turn pink? This crocodile has a wild imagination that kids will love.

With bold color and beautiful sense of design, Greg Pizzoli’s picture book debut takes this familiar childhood worry and gives us a true gem in the vein of I Want My Hat Back and Not a Box.”

I sure hope you take the time to recreate our craft with your child, as well as grabbing the mentioned book above to read along in celebration. Who knows – you might even find yourself munching on some yummy watermelon afterwards.

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished watermelon slices made from coffee filters, by tagging us on Instagram to admire them from afar! #gluedtomycrafts

Coffee Filter Watermelon - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

This fun watermelon craft is perfect for kids of all ages! All you need is some coffee filters, paint crayons, and a stapler.

Craft Supplies:

  • White Coffee Filters – one per craft
  • Stapler
  • Pink Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Green Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes

Directions:

  • First things first – grab ONE coffee filter.
  • Flatten it out with your hands.
  • Now fold it in half like a taco and secure it with ONE staple towards the top, so it doesn’t come apart.
  • Next grab your craft paint and paint the outer rim green and the inside of the coffee filter completely pink.
  • Now either dip your index finger in some black paint to create “seeds” on the watermelon slice or just draw them on with a small paint brush.
  • When done painting, set aside the coffee filter to let it dry completely.
  • And that’s it! When you are ready, display your Coffee Filter Watermelon Slices for all to see! You can use a small piece of tape on the back of each painted filter, to display it on a window or on the wall!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
