How To:
- Cut one end of the watermelon on an angle.
- Stand the watermelon on the cut end and grab a texta and get drawing! At one end of the watermelon, drawing the shape of a mouth. Stand the watermelon upright and start at the top and work your way down.
- Start cutting! You should be able to use a knife to wedge out the watermelon mouth.
- Now, cut just the rind off around the shark’s mouth. You want to use a shallow knife for this, so only the green part is being cut away.
- Scoop out the watermelon! You want to empty the insides, so get scooping. Use a knife to help with this. Only worry about being neat, you can cut up the watermelon later.
- Time for some teeth. Grab the shallow knife again and go around and create triangle teeth out of the white part.
- You can use a toothpick to secure two blueberries for the eyes.
- Chop up the leftover watermelon and any other fruit you like and pop it inside the shark’s mouth. You are good to go!
And there you have it! A fabulous watermelon shark ready to wow your guests at that next big event.
