These gorgeous watermelon hearts are a doddle to make and refreshingly yummy to eat, making them the perfect healthy treat this Valentines.
what you need…
- small watermelon
- heart cookie cutter
- sharp knife (for adult use only!!!)
what to do…
- as a very sharp knife will need to be used to slice the watermelon, please ensure an adult does this!!!!
- slice the watermelon in half and then into thick 1cm or 2 cm slices
- using the heart cutter push it into the flesh of the watermelon
- remove the heart watermelon shape and enjoy!!!!
into a little dream adventure…
- continue to use up all the watermelon this way and then count, with your child how many hearts they have created
- this could be popped on the end of a kebab stick or straw to make a really striking nibble for a party
- the perfect lunchbox treat or healthy snack…maybe try using other shaped cookie cutters for a variation or even other melons
- which is your child’s favourite melon? talk about the texture and taste of a the melon? where do melons grow?
