As parents, we’re always trying to find ways to get our kids to eat more fruits and veggies. One of the easiest ways to encourage your kids is by making food fun. Of course, watermelon is the ultimate summer fruit ā red, juicy, and oh, so tasty!
If you want to get your kids excited about fruit, here are 10 fun ways to serve watermelon to your kids.
Bring the sea to your table with a fun watermelon lobster.
Watermelon sticks make eating watermelon much more manageable for little ones.
If you make a watermelon shark, you’ll be the coolest parent on the block.
This watermelon pizza is not only a cute way to serve watermelon to kids, but it’s an easy recipe that kids can make for themselves.

July 21, 2015 at 2:59 pmHow fun! You know, just the other day I saw another great way to serve watermelon for picnics or little kids’ birthdays (when you don’t want to fill them up with sugar): Slice off the rind of the watermelon and shape the fruit into a cylinder, like a tall layer cake. “Frost” with whipped cream or Cool Whip.
