How to Make a Popsicle Stick Watermelon Craft

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies and clear a space that can survive a paintbrush incident (you know what I mean).

Step 2: Paint the Sticks
Paint two of the craft sticks red for the watermelon flesh and the third one green for the rind. Let them dry completely while you discuss whether watermelon is better with or without seeds.

Step 3: Arrange the Triangle
Arrange the sticks into a triangle, placing the green one on the bottom like a rind, and the red ones forming the sides. Suddenly, it’s looking juicy already.

Step 4: Glue the Corners
Glue or tape the corners of the triangle so it holds together. Give it a minute to set, no one wants a collapsing watermelon.

Step 5: Draw the Seeds
Use your black marker to draw small dots or teardrop shapes on the red sticks to mimic watermelon seeds. They don’t have to be perfect. Real seeds never are.
All done!
Your juicy watermelon slice is ready for summer!
