Lil' Miss Smarty Pants was created to share activities (mostly crafts!!) you can do with your own kids or in a teaching setting...almost all of the activities use simple everyday items that are found in most homes with kiddos. We have spent a lot of time looking for fun activities that also have teaching/learning value, and several years trying them out with our preK class. Here are our favorites!!

Paper Plate Watermelon Craft

Finishing up our unit of the letter W this week...with a darling and fun watermelon craft that also works on those fine motor skills that are so important in PreK age kids.  


We just use our paper cutter to cut squares (big ones) out of green and red construction paper, and much smaller black squares for the seeds.  


And cut your paper plates in half...


First step...glue the green rind on the outer edge of the plate...


...then the red in the middle.  When done, they can glue random black seeds over the red paper.


Voila.  Really one of the cutest paper plate crafts.
