  • With the flat section on the board, cut the watermelon in half.

Watermelon Tips

  • Wash the melon before you cut it to get rid of any dirt and bacteria lurking around.
  • The size you cut the melon into depends entirely on the size of the whole melon. Larger melons will need to be cut into more wedges.
  • Feel free to grab a melon baller or cookie cutters and use these to make fun shapes.
