Fun Watermelon Craft and a Cookie!

One of my son's favorite foods is watermelon- he can never eat enough of it! We made a Paper Plate Watermelon Craft which he thought was so much fun. First, I had him paint the center circle with red watercolor paint. Then I had him use regular green paint to do the outside ring. Since he is only 3, I painted the white ring where the 2 colors met. When it finished drying, I folded it in half. He placed dots of glue randomly over the pinkish-red part and then placed little black beans on the glue dots.

Supplies needed:

paper plate

red watercolor paint

green & white paint

glue

black beans (or cut tiny little pieces of black paper)

I also bought him a Watermelon Cookie to eat! If you want to attempt to make these by yourself, head over to Amanda's Cookin' to see how she makes her version.
