Sharing is caring!

These juicy pineapple crafts are perfect to refresh yourself this summer! Get ready with all your craft supplies to make toys, decor and more!

Isn’t it amazing how a change in weather changes every aspect of our lives? As soon as summer sets in, we change our wardrobe, our skincare and of course, our diet. We move from heavy soups to light summer salads, and from hearty meals to fruit platters. If you ask me what my favorite summer fruit is, it’s got to be pineapple!

Pineapples may seem quite common, but it takes a whole pineapple plant to produce one fruit, and that happens only once in a season. The plant itself takes almost 3 years to mature, and can produce fruit for up to 50 years. Yes, pineapples are quite special fruits!

Since we’re craving a lot of the juicy fruit right now, why don’t we satisfy it with some cute and colorful pineapple crafts for kids? With International Pineapple Day coming up on 27th June, we think it’s perfect timing too, don’t you?
