Directions:
Cut a ¼-inch slice off the bottom of the watermelon to provide a stable base.
Draw a line in a wave design with a sharp pencil or thin marker, approximately half of the way up and all the way around the melon. Cut long the wavy line to separate the two halves.
Scoop out the flesh with an ice cream scoop or a large spoon; reserve for salad.
Chill gelatin in a small plastic container to make a pool of blue “water.” Place in the watermelon bowl. Fill in around the “water” with fruit salad cut into fun shapes and balls. If desired, add grapes and berries to make your favorite fruit salad.
Arrange toys toward the edge of the watermelon bowl. Garnish sides with drink umbrellas and plastic palm tree swizzle sticks; add gummy fish to complete the scene. Recipe from the National Watermelon Promotion Board.
