- Chop a flat edge to allow the shark to sit flat. (reserve for step 7)
- Scoop out the insides and save it in a bowl. (reserve for step 8)
- Flipping the watermelon over I cut out the mouth opening, leaving space for the teeth to be exposed.
- Carefully cut only the outer green layer off of the teeth.
- Cut triangles out of the white area to make this shark look mean!
- Carefully score an almond shape and then a circle in the middle on each side removing the area outside the circle to give it eyes.
- Cut a "fin" shape out of the removed and insert a few tooth picks to allow it to stick in the shark's back.
- Fill the body with the watermelon you scooped out and feel free to add other fruit. I added green grapes to break up the red, as when I only had watermelon, it appeared the Shark was swimming in "bloody water" Now that might work for your use, but for a Pre-K class... probably not good! Haha I could see blueberries surrounding him being good or if you eat gelatin, a blue of some version could be made, cut up in cubes and placed around.

Watermelon Shark!
At my son's Pre-K, we were in charge of snack for the whole group about once a month. We had the duty this past week, with a "Beach Theme" so after a little internet searching, this fun Watermelon Shark I saw pictures of was the winner. It was pretty easy to make and proved to be a big hit with everyone that saw it, plus it tasted pretty good!
