Activities to Do With Watermelon Coloring Pages
Don’t let the fun stop once the coloring is done. You can upcycle these sheets into fun summer crafts and decorations. Here are a few creative ideas to try with your kids.
Make Scented Art
Make the experience multisensory by using watermelon-scented markers. If you do not have those, you can lightly paint over the finished red sections with a mixture of water and watermelon Kool-Aid powder. Once it dries, the page will smell just like the real thing.
Create a Summer Fan
Take one of the completed circular watermelon pages and accordion-fold it back and forth. Pinch one end together and tape it to create a handle, or tape it to a popsicle stick. Fan it out to make a cute hand fan perfect for cooling down on a warm day.
Design Picnic Invitations
If you are planning a backyard barbecue or a park picnic, these pages make great invitations. Print the pages at half-size or quarter-size. Have your child color the front, then write the party details (time, date, location) on the blank back.
Texture Collage
Instead of just using crayons, use different materials to fill in the picture. Glue actual black watermelon seeds (washed and dried) onto the seed spots. You can also scrunch up small squares of red and green tissue paper and glue them down to give the fruit a 3D texture.
Watermelon Bunting
Color several slice-shaped pages. Cut them out and punch two holes near the top rind of each slice. String a piece of twine or ribbon through the holes to create a festive garland. This looks adorable hanging on a patio or in a kitchen window.
FAQs
Is Watermelon a Fruit or a Vegetable?
This is a common trivia question! Botanically, it is a fruit because it grows from a flower and contains seeds. However, it is part of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae), which includes vegetables like pumpkins, cucumbers, and squash. For coloring purposes, it fits perfectly in the fruit bowl.
What Are the Best Colors for These Pages?
You will want a variety of greens for the rind (dark forest green and lime green work well for stripes) and vibrant reds or pinks for the flesh. Do not forget black or dark brown for the seeds. For a yellow watermelon variety, you can swap the red for a sunny yellow.
How Can I Make the Coloring Pages Durable?
If you plan to use the pages for crafts like fans or masks, print them on white cardstock instead of standard printer paper. This prevents markers from bleeding through and makes the final cutout much sturdier.
Are These Pages Suitable for Toddlers?
Yes, many of the designs feature large, simple shapes with thick outlines, which are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers developing fine motor skills. The more detailed scenes with backgrounds are better suited for older children or adults.
Can I Use Paint on These Pages?
Absolutely. Watercolor paints or tempera sticks look great on watermelon art. Just be sure to print on heavier paper so the water does not cause the page to crinkle or tear.
