There is an optional 16 page printable available for parents who are wanting more watermelon themed learning activities to do at home . The PDF includes handwriting practice, basic math problems and symmetry drawing.Class Experience
In this class we will paint 3 kawaii (cute) watermelon characters. This is a super simple craft for complete beginner artists. I will demonstrate the artwork step by step so this class is suitable for even those with low English capabilities . The characters are created by folding and cutting 3 printed templates to make a mask for the shapes. Then paint is applied with a brush or a sponge . The seeds are added last with Q tips. We will also look at photos of how watermelons are grown during the class. This is a relaxed and fun class for kids who enjoy making art and learning a little bit about nature at the same time.
Learning Goals
Students will fold and cut 3 printed templates. This will let them practice their fine motor skills and scissor skills. Cutting the folded paper also helps the students learn about symmetry.
Students will learn about how watermelons grow by looking at photos and videos of farms.
Students will be shown how to mix paint colors. They will learn red + white = pink , and yellow + blue = green .
Other Details
Parental Guidance

Supply List
Please print the supplied PDF before class (3 pages black and white). Print this on regular paper. Paint -I will be using watercolor paint- but you can use poster paint or acrylic paint if that is what you already have . Either will work fine. Colors needed: Black, red, white, blue, yellow . Felt tip pen or permanent marker : one black , one green. Googly eyes . PVA glue. Water. Low tack tape/ or blue tack /or a bulldog clip . This is to hold the paper template steady while the child is painting on top of it . If you don't have any of these you could simply hold the paper template down while they paint . Thick white paper/Watercolor paper/card stock . Just use whatever painting surface you have already . You will need 3 pieces of paper (A4/or US letter sized) , Or one large piece of paper (big enough to fit 3x A4/US letter sized pieces of paper ). Paint brush x1 Sponge x 2 . You can use a make up sponge or a kids foam sponge brush . Any sponge will work really ... I often simply wash and cut up old kitchen sponges for crafting purposes . Scissors. Coloring pens / pencils . Qtips
