Doily Pineapples Craft

This Doily Pineapples Craft is PERFECT for summer days! Brightly colored (and totally yummy looking), these pineapples are made out of painted doilies, making this activity a super unique and fun one!

We did this craft with kiddos the other day and they fell in love with their finished baby doily pineapples! They had lots of fun in the process, of course, painting the doilies with yellows and bits of brown and orange as well as using the large foam brushes. Once dried, they hung them up in their room for some spectacular summer decor!

Instructions for Doily Pineapples Craft:

Cut the doily into a pineapple shape using the kid-safe scissors. Both parents or kids can do this step. Next, using the paintbrush and washable kids paint, paint the pineapple doily and let dry a bit. While the painted pineapple is drying, create the greenery for the top. Using the pencil and green cardstock, first draw then cut out a simple spiky-type leaves. Once the doily is completely dry glue on the cardstock greenery to the top and let dry.
