Craft Supplies:
Before jumping into the creative process, gather all your supplies. Here’s what you’ll need to create this yellow lemon craft:
- Yellow Construction Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- You’re The Zest Printable – on our landing page
- School Glue
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Embellishments
Directions:
Follow these simple steps to create your vibrant “You’re the Zest!” craft:
- First things first – download and print out the FREE provided you’re the zest printable listed above, on a single piece of white cardstock paper.
- Have kids color in the “leaf” in the design. They can use any type of coloring material and/or colors.
- Next up, help your child cut/tear their yellow construction paper into small pieces.
- Now have them use school glue to glue those pieces inside the “lemon” design. Don’t worry about having them make the shapes perfect – lemons are naturally irregular in shape, and the imperfections add character to their design.
- The final step is to have kids add their own personalization. They can add wiggle eyes, dots for texture, etc.
- When they are done decorating, allow the finished design to dry completely before gifting.
- Be sure to also snap a photo and share it with the hashtag #GluedToMyCrafts or tag us to showcase their beautiful artwork. We’d love to see what you create!
