Watermelon is a summer staple. Crunchy, juicy, and colorful, nothing hits the spot on a hot summer day than a slice or two of a freshly picked watermelon. In addition to being delicious, watermelons also happen to be super cute. And as we all know, cute fruits make for even cuter crafts. Have your kids follow up a great snack with an even greater crafting project.
