Handprint Watermelon Card - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

This fun and easy handprint card is perfect for summer! Kids will love making this watermelon card and sending it to their friends and family.

Card Supplies:

  • Green Craft Paint
  • Pink Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Baby Wipes
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Choice of Color Cardstock Paper
  • Basic Paper Craft Scissors
  • Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
  • Scrapbook Stickers or Sharpie Marker

Directions:

  • First squirt a small amount of pink craft paint on a paper plate.
  • Pick a hand – any hand!
  • Paint the palm of your child’s hands and press it down in the center of a piece of white cardstock.
  • Gently lift up their hand and use the baby wipes to remove excess paint from it {and a quick trip to the sink!}
  • Next up – grab your green paint and make a “rind” along the palm of the pink handprint.
  • Follow that up by adding some black dots to the center of the handprint for the watermelon “seeds.”
  • When done decorating the handprint, set the paper aside to let it dry completely.
  • Once dry, grab your scissors and trim out the newly made watermelon design on the white paper, to fit on a cardstock card front.
  • Go ahead and glue it down with your glue stick.
  • To finish off the Handprint Watermelon Card – add scrapbook stickers or write out with a Sharpie marker to say “Happy Summer” or any other sentiment you have in mind, on the front of the card.
  • Then add other embellishments you see fit before gifting away proudly!

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!
