Is there anything more summery than fun watermelon activities? We are watermelon obsessed at our house so I have been on the lookout for watermelon themed ideas. And have found some really cool ones! These are sure to please any watermelon loving kid.
Here are some of our favorite watermelon crafts and activities for kids. I love how many of them are so simple to set up–summer should be simple and fun!
