Healthy and easy recipe with the grandkids: Fruit treasure chest

Feeds: up to 10 hungry pirates

Ingredients

Tools

How to make

1. First ask Mum or Dad to cut a thin strip off the very bottom of the watermelon, so the chest has a flat bottom and can sit upright on the chopping board.

2. Now, using the recipe photo as a guide, ask Mum or Dad to cut a 45-degree wedge out of the watermelon, using a long knife. Scoop out contents with a spoon.

3. Again, with help from Mum or Dad, cut the watermelon flesh into small cubes and/or star-shapes and deposit these precious gems, along with your raspberries, blueberries, cherries, strawberries and cubed pineapple into the watermelon treasure chest. Transfer the chest to a large plate.

4. Why not hide the chest somewhere and see if your pirate friends can find it!
