On the weekend I shared a picture of my sliced up watermelon and received a few enquiries. When I get home from the grocery store I cut up most of our fruit and vegetables, which you can read more about here and here. Basically I find that by pre-cutting the fruit and vegetables it is less likely going to go to waste as it is conveniently ready for when I am hungry, wanting to pack kids lunch boxes or making dinner. Plus when I am feeling a little peckish I don’t opt for something naughty and sweet as the fruit is ready to eat.
There are many different ways to cut a watermelon so I have gathered some ideas for you below. At our local grocery store our watermelons come quartered, I slice mine similar to the image below.

I love the lego idea and absolutely going to use it for my son, his school doesn’t allow cakes, this is perfect… love how you find these ideas for us Kat thank you.
Hi Judy, Aren’t they just adorable! Yes the kids school don’t allow cakes either so these ideas are just perfect.:) ~ Kate
So many great ideas, thanks!
I just want you to know that the ‘home’ link, and the link in the logo takes readers back to December last year. The only way I found this most recent post was by typing in Feb 2015, and clicking on the next post link at the bottom of each post… I love your blog but can’t afford to waste time searching through weeks of old posts to find a new one.
Hi Donna, I’m sorry to hear it isn’t working for you. I have double checked from our end and everything seems to be running ok. I hope it works for you in the future. Thank you for letting me know though. ~ Kate
