WILLY WATERMELON CRAFT Materials you will need are a printer, paper (I prefer construction paper or another heavier paper), scissors, glue, and something to colour with.
| Print out the template of choice. | | Colour pieces, as necessary. | | Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult assistance. | | Glue the small half circle onto the large half circle. | | Glue on the eyes, mouth, arms and legs. | | Ask the kids the 5 W's about watermelons | Who likes watermelons? (the children who like them will raise their hands) | | What does a watermelon taste (or look) like? (children can describe the watermelon -- sweet, juicy, etc) | | Where do you like to eat watermelons? (camping, the beach, at home, etc) | | When do you like to eat watermelons? (when it's summer, when it's hot, etc) | | Why do you like to eat watermelons? (juicy, like spitting out the seeds, etc) | You might like to have an adult answer each of the questions as an example so the kids get the idea of what's intended. | | Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. | | Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
| Different computers work a bit differently in terms of how they print. If the first templates don't work for you, try these instead: Template 1 (color) or (B&W) Template 2 (color) or (B&W) this is a great way to teach children what a watermelon is yum! |
