I love this idea, because not only is it festive, but it’s healthy, cheap, kid tested and mother approved. It’s a given that you’ll be eating watermelon this weekend, so why not make it fun.
Serve up these watermelon stars like lollipops for the kids.
Stack them up for a festive way to greet your guests at a small dinner party.
Or skewer them onto a toothpick to garnish your drink of choice.























My kids would love this more than cupcakes or candy..really, they would. (I'll take the watermelon and the cupcakes and candy.
)
Genius idea. I love it!
The watermelon is so good right now. See you today!
That is the best idea ever! My kids love, love, love watermelon right now. They will love this! Thanks!
splendid idea–and so much more healthy than jello.
anything cut with a cookie cutter is just cuter. love the photos.
Those are so cute! What a great idea!
YAY! Love it, We did that last year I think I'll pull out my cookie uctters again. Can't wait to see you guys tonight
i absolutely love this! would you mind if i reposted and gave credit of course??
So darn cute. All "MY" great summer ideas and recipes start with you. So what should we come up with next? I've already borrowed (stolen) your mini mug rootbeer float idea and it will be accompanying my Paigey's birthday party this year. Along with another bloggers Mini Birthday Party ideas (Pleated Poppy). I love all you crafty gals. You make me look like the Martha Stewart that I'm not.
Hello from Australia! *waves*
My son is only 10 weeks old and it's Winter here but hey! Bring on Summer… my son will be old enough for solids and I'll be able to break out these cool (pardon the pun!) watermelon stars!!
Thanks for sharing the idea.

Yay, I can't wait to make these! My kids LOVE watermelon.
love the way this looks–but, since we are dealing with a food-challenged individual, (me.) this is a little too advanced for mindi.
however, i AM still employing tiffany's watermelon cutting technique, so i guess it's never too old to teach an old dog a few new little tricks…..
ps those paper lollies were the bomb.
Love it, Kami! Sorry I didn't get a chance to come say hi at the neighborhood party yesterday. What did you call it? Neighborhood of Fire? Awesome.
What a cute idea with the watermelon star in the glass! I could see this being a really cute addition to a summer watermelon infusion of sorts… yum!

I've gotta do it. Maybe after the holiday I'll make hearts! Fun.
Such a great idea, you need to come out with your own magazine with your great ideas.
Very fun!
How cool! Do you have a google friends follower link?
Hi Kami!
