Ingredients

  • 1 oblong-shaped seedless watermelon
  • 1 (4-serving-size) package blue gelatin, prepared in a small plastic container according to package directions
  • Assorted cut-up fruit pieces
  • Beach-themed items for decoration
  • Gummy fish for garnish
  • Directions

    1. Cut a 1/4-inch slice off the bottom of the watermelon to provide a stable base.
    2. Draw lines in a wave design, with a sharp pencil or thin marker, approximately halfway up and all the way around the watermelon. Cut the watermelon along those lines.
    3. Scoop out the flesh with an ice cream scoop or large spoon, and reserve for fruit salad.
    4. Create a water scene by placing the blue gelatin container in the watermelon bowl. Fill in around the "water" with fruit salad cut into fun shapes and balls.
    5. Arrange small, clean, non-toxic, new, small beach-themed toys and plastic dolls toward the edge of the watermelon bowl to create a beach scene. Garnish the sides with drink umbrellas and plastic palm tree swizzle sticks, and add gummy fish to the top of the salad and gelatin to complete the scene.
