watermelon whale

Last week my daughter had her pre-school graduation and I signed up to bring watermelon. Since her school mascot is a whale I thought it would be fun to carve the watermelon into the shape of a whale.  I found the directions in the book "Summer" by Susan Branch.  It was actually quite simple to do and the kids got a kick out of it.  This is a great thing to bring to a potluck or BBQ because you can throw away (or compost) the watermelon when the fruit salad is all gone!
