Paper Plate & Craft Foam Watermelon - Summer Kid Craft Idea

Looking for some fun and easy craft ideas for kids this summer? Look no further than this watermelon craft made with foam and paper plates!

Craft Supplies:

  • Pink Sticky Back Craft Foam Sheet
  • Green Sticky Back Craft Foam Sheet
  • Large Paper Plate
  • Black Marker
  • Craft Scissors

Directions:

  • First things first – cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to make TWO equal paper plate pieces. You can either use both halves for today’s watermelon craft or set one aside to save for a rainy day!
  • Next grab your sticky back pink and green craft foam & scissors.
  • Go ahead and have children cut both pieces of craft foam into 1 inch wide stripes, then into one inch squares. Remember the square shapes don’t have to be perfect.
  • Separate your pieces into two separate color piles.
  • Next, starting with the green squares, have children remove the paper backing on each piece of adhesive foam and then place it on the rim of the paper plate halves.
  • When the rim is completely covered, go ahead and take the pink squares, remove the backing and then place in the inner part of the paper plate.
  • Repeat for each paper plate piece until you have the look of a watermelon.
  • The final step is to take your black marker and draw small “seeds” in the pink area of the finished paper plate halves.
  • Then display your paper plate watermelon craft piece proudly for all to see!!!

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!
