Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole large cantaloupe
  • ½ whole large seedless watermelon
  • 1 whole honeydew melon or casaba melon

Instructions 

  • Cut cantaloupe in half. Your child can help scoop out the seeds with a large spoon. Slice each half into many thin wedges (sideways these should resemble crescent moons). Your child can remove the peel of each cantaloupe wedge with a plastic knife. Put in large serving bowl.
  • Demonstrate for your child how to make a watermelon ball using the melon ball tool. Your child can try his or her hand at making melon balls. Add all to the cantaloupe.
  • Cut the casaba or honeydew melon in half; remove the seeds with a large spoon. Make melon balls and then cut each ball in half with a plastic knife; add to other melon.
  • Mix the melon in the bowl. Talk about how you have three moon shapes in the salad: a crescent moon (the cantaloupe), a half moon (the casaba or honeydew melon), and a full moon (the watermelon).
