We received an email from Bean Sprouts Café and Cooking School, which focuses on better-for-you food for kids and families. As is our wont, we went to check out the website and found these watermelon people.

It reminded us that it was time to get out the cookie cutters and have fun with our food while melon season is in full force.

For snacks, desserts or a plate garnish (a piece of melon on the dinner plate, with a sandwich, etc.), you’ll win smiles from kids and grown-ups alike.

Dice the pieces left over from cutting shapes and add to a fruit salad.
