Handprint Watermelon Card 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!
