Inspired by the first day of summer {coming up on Monday, June 20th 2016} today we are sharing this adorable Handprint Watermelon Cards Kid Craft idea!

Perfect to celebrate the change in season AND send some sweet one-of-a-kind keepsakes to grandparents far away!

So what are you waiting for? Grab the craft supplies listed below and carve some “naturally sweet” time out of your afternoon to make some pretty awesome cards for friends, family or even just to keep in your stash just because! Whatever you do – have fun! Happy crafting and celebrating summer, my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Green/Pink/Black Craft Paint
* Green/White Cardstock
* Scissors
* Glue Stick
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Baby Wipes
* Scrapbook Stickers

Directions:

* First squirt some pink paint on a paper plate.
* Paint one of your child’s hands and press it in the center of a piece of white cardstock. Then grab your green paint and make a “rind” along the palm of the handprint and add some black “seeds” to the center of the handprint. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, grab your scissors and trim out the newly made design to fit on the front of a cardstock card. Go ahead and glue it down.
* To finish off the Handprint Watermelon Cards – add scrapbook stickers to say “Happy Summer” or any other sentiment you have in mind. Then add other embellishments you see fit before gifting away proudly!
