The Baby and Baby Carriage Fruit Salad

The Baby and Baby Carriage Fruit Salad

👶 🍉

We had a Baby Shower about a week and a half ago, 

the theme of the food was mainly salads.

So my mom and I decided to make a fruit salad.

We looked some things up and found an idea.

Ok, lets make it.😉

Get a Watermelon
⬇

 Cut a spot on your watermelon so it can sit there and not roll.

Like the yellow spot, because that is where it sat on the ground to grow.

Like I show in the picture.

⬇

Once that is done, get a coffee cup 

or something about that height.

On each side of the watermelon cut across

to that level. And move your knife around the 

watermelon with the coffee cup so it is at the right height.

⬇

Try to take that piece of the watermelon off.
Like in the picture.

I used a melon baller to scoop little balls

out to put back in.

And my mom and I also used a ice cream scooper 
to get the rest of the watermelon out.

 We used a cantaloupe for the Baby's head.

You could use a orange or a grapefruit if you like.

If you are going to use an orange or a grapefruit you can cut 

it in half to make it smaller or not.

If you make twins or triplets, 

you might want to use something smaller,

like an orange or grapefruit.

We used a cantaloupe, so we cut it in half.

I used the melon baller again and got a bunch of 

little balls out of one side to put in the salad.

⬇

We used the other side of the cantaloupe for the head and face.
Mom cut all of the peel off also.
⬇ 

We put some fruit in the empty watermelon 

to help hold the head up some.

Toothpicks can be used to put the eyes and nose on the head. 

We thought we didn't have toothpicks and so we used the grape stems.

⬇

We added wheels on the carriage

by slicing a grapefruit up.

We used toothpicks to attach them to the sides.

⬇

NOW! The watermelon was filled up with fruit.

Grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe balls, 

and watermelon balls were what we put in our fruit salad.

We also cut a little hole on the cantaloupe

to put a pacifier in the mouth.

Since my sister is having a girl, 
we got a little decorative with a flower on the baby's head.
Play around with it if you want to.
