Watermelon frog filled with fruit salad

Trim off the bottom of the watermelon so it stands steady while carving; save the disc for the legs.

Make two half-moon slices in the top half so a quarter of the melon comes away.

Empty the inside with a spoon or melon baller (cuillere parisienne); save the watermelon balls for the fruit salad.

Variation: for adults, blend the watermelon flesh with strawberries, lime and tequila.

From the removed piece, cut a slice for the tongue and divide the larger portion in two; remove the flesh and shape two feet. Adjust the tongue's size and shape.

Cut the bottom disc in half for the legs; cut two half-moons with a cookie cutter for the eyeballs.

Assemble the legs, feet and eyes, using grapes or blueberries for the eyes; fill the mouth with fruit salad.
