Watermelon Boat
- 1 watermelon — can be seeded or seedless
- Cutting board
- Kitchen and paring knives
- Pencil or thin marker
- Large bowl and spoon or ice cream scoop
- Blue gelatin
- Small plastic container
- Small beach themed items
- Gummy fish
Directions:
- Use an oblong seedless watermelon, and cut a 1/4-inch slice off the bottom to provide a stable base.
- Draw lines in a wave design with a sharp pencil or thin marker approximately one half of the way up and all the way around the watermelon.
- Scoop out the flesh with an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, and reserve for salad.
- A few hours or the day before, prepare gelatin as directed in a small plastic container to make a pool of “water”, and place in the watermelon bowl. Fill in around the “water” with fruit salad cut into fun shapes and balls.
- Arrange toys toward the edge of the watermelon bowl. Garnish sides with drink umbrellas and plastic palm tree swizzle sticks, and add gummy fish to complete the scene.
