My kids LOVE watermelon, we tend to eat a lot of it during the summer. We like to cube it, I shared how to cube a whole watermelon in just minutes last week. BUT that is not always a great way to eat it as a finger food at a picnic or on the go… but the BIG slices tend to be hard for little hands to hold and little mouths to bite. SO that is when we came up with Watermelon Sticks…. the perfect solution for bite sized watermelon on the go for little hands. Or if you are feeding a large group and need smaller portions.
First cut your watermelon into 3 sections. IF you have a smaller watermelon just cut it in half, no need for the middle section. But the larger ones work best when you cut into thirds.
Lay the ends down flat and cut into 1 – 1 1/2 inch strips. Rotate the melon and do the same thing going the other direction. Simple as that you have instant WATERMELON STICKS perfect for little hands and little mouths!
