Summer Fun with Watermelon: Part IV

Today's fun with watermelon involved one of my favorite kitchen toys...a melon baller! Who doesn't love little balls of refreshing watermelon? I decided to serve my kids a pint sized snack that I thought would be perfect for their tiny hands. Fresh watermelon juice with melon ball hors d'oeuvres!

All you need is:

Watermelon
Melon baller
Tiny plastic cups
Colorful toothpicks
1 straw


Watermelon is a very juicy fruit and my kids love fresh watermelon juice. After scooping out a couple dozen melon balls, the juice of this tasty melon begins to fill in the rind. All I did was pour the juice directly from the melon into my tiny plastic cups. I took one straw and cut it into 3 small straws perfect for the kid-sized drinks. Colorful toothpicks make enjoying the melon balls more festive. My kid's love this snack because of it's fun, tiny size as well as it's yumminess!

    My kids would poke each other in the eye with those toothpicks. They are vicious to each other! haha

    Oh, this brings me back to when I was a kid and my mom would make beautiful watermelon boats with all a variety of fruit/melon balls. Fun times!
