    Paper Plate Watermelon Craft

    Carrigan’s favorite fruit is definitely watermelon and she recently got a new shirt with little watermelon slices on it. She loves it so, so I knew this watermelon craft would be a hit with her. Plus, I love paper plate crafts so I’m always happy to put together a new one!

    We read a book we have about watermelons first and then had a good time making our own slices! I included a few links to some of our favorite children’s books about watermelon at the end pf the post too! We’ve included some affiliate links as well and thank you for supporting us!

      What a cute watermelon craft! I have no doubt the favorite part for my learner would be painting on the seeds.
