These sponge painted watermelon cards are the perfect summer craft for kids to make!

Craft Supplies:

  • Cardstock Paper Cards
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Adhesive
  • Pink Craft Paint
  • Green Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Paper Plate
  • Paint Brushes
  • Kitchen Sponge {new/any size}
  • Scissors/Paper Trimmer
  • Scrapbook Stickers
  • Sharpie Markers

Directions:

  • First trim down some white cardstock paper so it will fit on the front of your pre-made cardstock cards.
  • One piece for each card.
  • Once trimmed down, go ahead and glue those to the front of each card with your adhesive.
  • Repeat for each card you are making.
  • Now grab your kitchen sponge and scissors.
  • Cut out a triangle for your watermelon slice. It can be any size you like, just as long as it’s not bigger than your card.
  • Now grab your paper plate and craft paint.
  • Squirt pink paint on the paper plate.
  • Take your newly made “stamp” and rub it into the pink paint, until it’s completely covered.
  • Then take it and stamp it on the white cardstock.
  • Repeat for each card you are making.
  • Next grab the green and black craft paint.
  • Paint on the watermelon rim and seeds on the stamped design.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • To finish off the watermelon craft, add your scrapbook stickers/use Sharpie markers around the watermelon slice design to say “You are ONE IN A MELON” or any other saying you like.
  • Finally, write a sweet message inside and mail away to the lucky receiver!!!

EXTRA CRAFT TIP – instead of a kitchen sponge, try thinking outside the box with your stamp. Use potatoes, apples or craft foam scraps to make your triangle shape.

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!
