Prepare melon sticks with DIP
Eat like with adults, with dip: if they from oneCut melon stickswho serve like fries and serve a delicious yoghurt dip, the plate will be cleared in the zero comment.
- Cut the watermelon into any thick slices (the thickness also affects the thickness of the sticks).
- Cut along the bowl with a knife to separate the pulp (you could also leave the shell there, to hold the sticks. Then you should wash the fruit beforehand).
- Remove the shell.
- Halve the fruit slice.
- Cut the length of melon sticks.
- Spread the chopsticks on a serving plate. Leave the middle for the dip.
The whole thing also works with honeydew melons.
For the fruity dip:
- 5 strawberries
- 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
- a little lemon juice
Puree yogurt and strawberries and taste with lemon juice until you like the acidity.
Fruity pizza for the children's party
You can also use the DIP to cover a melon pizza. Simply cut a melon disc into triangles and then top with any fruits and yogurt. You could also add nuts and seeds if the children like it.
Or how about if you pre -cut the fruit panel and provide the covering in separate containers? Then each child can decide for themselves what they distribute their “pizza piece”.

Ice? No, watermelon on the stem!
The classic triangles that you usually cut out of the watermelon are very practical for holding on and eating, we admit. But a few ice cream pairs make fruit dessert to the children something special, especially if they are also nice and colorful. Make sure to cut the triangles sufficiently thick so that you can conveniently pierce a stem through the bowl without everything falling apart.
Cool idea for long freshness in summer:Assign the triangles with stems in a circle and leave an area free in the middle to fill it with ice cream. So the fruits remain fresh outside for a long time.
