Ingredients
DULCINEA Extra Sweet Tuscan Style Cantaloupe or DULCINEA PureHeart Seedless Watermelon
Preparation
Using fun cookie cutter shapes - hearts, letters, dinosaurs, anything creative you can find! - let your kids make their own creative snacks. Cut a section of fruit for them and hand over the cookie cutters. Place Popsicle sticks in the bottom of the cut-out, so they can be easily eaten. They will fill up on nutritious Dulcinea PureHeart Watermelon and Tuscan Style Cantaloupe and have fun in the process!
Mini Watermelon Boat
Cut DULCINEA PUREHEART Seedless Watermelon in half. Cut edge of melon in saw-tooth design with sharp knife. Scoop out center with melon ball scoop, leaving about a half-inch of watermelon fruit intact inside. Fill the watermelon half with all the prepared melon balls. Decorate with a mint. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil. Chill.
Start by slicing open a raw watermelon and scooping out a few melon balls. Swap out with finished Mini Watermelon Boat, add the melon balls already used and garnish with mint.

NOTE: If you have a Nemco Lettuce Cutter, it works great for making watermelon sticks.
