Not only is this watermelon craft idea really simple to do with your child BUT it also creates a fun texture when it's all done.

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

First you will want to make your puffy paint. This is done by placing equal parts of shaving cream and school glue in your small dish.
Now for the pink coloring. Add ONE drop of red food coloring to the mixture.
Then mix your three ingredients together until it’s like thick frosting.
Add more food coloring to get your desired color but remember your puffy paint will dry a shade darker than it looks.
Set your dish aside.
Now grab your large paper plate and scissors.
Cut your paper plate into FOURS. First in half, then each piece in half again.
Grab your green paint crayon.
Have children paint the rims of each paper plate slice green.
Now go ahead and grab your puffy paint mixture and paint brush.
Have children place a good layer of “frosting” on each paper plate slice, to create the “inner” of the watermelon. Remember to have them lay it on thick so they get that fun texture.
To finish the Puffy Paint Watermelon Slices craft, have children add some hole punched “watermelon seeds” on top of the puffy paint mixture while it’s still wet.
Then once done with the craft, set it in an undisturbed area to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
FYI – Once dry, the texture of the puffy paint will be bumpy and colors may get darker as it dries!
