Popsicle Stick Watermelon Slices Craft

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Craft time with the kids just got a whole lot sweeter! Get creative with our popsicle stick watermelon slices – a simple and fun summertime activity for the little ones.

Popsicle Stick Watermelon Slices - Kid Craft

Watermelon Slices Made From Popsicle Sticks

Let me start off this tutorial by saying I absolutely LOVE drawing inspiration from children’s book.

Take for example today’s Popsicle Stick Watermelon Slice craft idea. It’s inspired by one of our favorites 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.

Now without ado, today’s watermelon themed craft idea is absolutely perfect for story time and summer! So don’t delay – grab those craft supplies and “grow” some today! You can find EVERYTHING you need to know, in our full watermelon themed tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft stick watermelon slices with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see them as well! #gluedtomycrafts
