10 Fun Ways to Serve Watermelon to Your Kids

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 – 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.

Watermelon muffins made with watermelon, cool whip and yogurt are sure to be a hit.

Make a deliciously dreamy watermelon cake! It’s perfect for summer birthday parties or cookouts.

These watermelon pops are dipped in chocolate and have sprinkles added, but they’re also delicious plain. Just cut the watermelon, pop in some popsicle sticks, and freeze!

Cool shapes make fruit more fun. Ocean animal cookie cutters are a great choice for summer.

Make water more exciting by adding frozen watermelon balls.

These watermelon flower snacks are darling! Sneak in some veggies with the green pepper stems and leaves. Yum!

Look at these watermelon ladybug pops; they are so creative! Spiders would be really cute, too.

    How 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.
