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!

Super fun watermelon themed crafts and activities kids love! Bring on summer!

Fun Watermelon Activities

Watermelon Ice Cones. A yummy and healthy summer treat from The Pleasantest Thing that your kids will love!

Watermelon Wrapping Paper. How sweet is this kids craft that doubles as wrapping paper? Inner Child Fun has such great ideas!

Watermelon Squish Bags. Fantastic Fun and Learning’s simple sensory bag is so cool! Kids of all ages will love it.

Watermelon Scented Slime. This is one of our favorite slime recipes yet! It smells just like summer and the kids love to play with the “seeds”.

Watermelon Handprint Craft. How fun is this watermelon handprint craft from Crystal and Co.? Such a cute keep sake and craft idea!

Watermelon Scented Glitter Paint. FSPDT has such fun play recipes! This watermelon scented paint is sure to engage all the senses.

Watermelon Popsicles. Super healthy. Super yummy. Super easy. You have to try this popsicle recipe this summer! Juicy ripe watermelons work best.
