How To Make A Watermelon Baby For Your Friend’s Baby Shower

I had a few fans asking how I made the watermelon baby, so I decided to post about it. :)

What You Will Need:

  • Oblong Watermelon
  • 2 half cantaloupes or whole
  • Strawberries
  • Blackberries or Raspberries (I went for black for color)
  • Grapes (Red or Green)
  • Pacifier

Directions: (sorry no photos for steps :( )

  1. Mark your watermelon with a sharpie for cutting the opening
  2. Carve out your watermelon (I used my melon scooper for little watermelon balls to put back in)
  3. Grab half cantaloupe and using a knife peel skin off; cut a small opening for pacifier
  4. With other cantaloupe use melon scooper to make balls and ears and nose (use toothpicks to hold them in place)
  5. Get two grapes and cut them for eyes and use toothpicks to hold them in place
  6. Fill your watermelon with the fruits and place the melon head at the back
  7. Put on a tray and use the leftover fruits around the watermelon

Things I would have done differently! I wouldn’t have carved the whole watermelon out. I would have left some of the watermelon flesh inside for height for the baby’s head.

It turned out so cute!!

The creation at the baby shower! I was thrilled that it got so many giggles that it did. Yay!
