- A large watermelon
- Clear counterspace, cutting boards, cookie sheet, carving knife, aprons,wooden skewers, extra fruits and vegetables, a bandana.
- We used: 1 zucchini, 1 garlic scape, 2 concord grapes, 2 green apples.
- Cut a large watermelon in half and set one half aside.
- Slice both of your apples in half. Place all four pieces face down on a cookie sheet.
- Poke wooden skewers in each piece of apple on a slight angle.
- Place halved watermelon on top of apple pieces, pressing the skewers into the sides of the watermelon.
- Using the remaining half watermelon; cut in half once again.
- Use one of these quarters to create the head. Remove most of pink watermelon flesh (set aside to eat or put in smoothie) and round out the face, keeping the corner pieces to use for eyes.
- Using three wooden skewers, secure the head to the body, preferrably with two at the top, side by side (allow the skewers to stick out an inch, where the eyes will go) and one at the bottom (where the mouth will cover).
- Attach bandana around the ‘neck’ area.
- Using remaining quarter watermelon; cut in half once again.
- Slice a piece off one of the halves and set aside (you will use this small piece to make dog bone).
- Remove some of the watermelon flesh from the mouth pieces.
- Using four wooden skewers, two for the top and two for the bottom, secure the mouth to the head by piercing though the quartered pieces first and pressing into the head.
- Use the leftover pieces from the head (where you rounded the corners) to create the eyes.
- Carve rounds, half ovals or triangles.
- Attach to the head by pressing them on to the inch of skewer that is sticking out.
- Add 2 concord grapes or blueberries as the eyeballs.
- Cut a zucchini into four quarters, you will only be using two quarters.
- Remove most of the flesh from inside the zucchini, leaving the outer skins.
- Secure to the head with two skewers on either side.
- Using a garlic scape, attach to the backside of watermelon body, securing with a wooden skewer.
- Using a leftover piece of watermelon, remove flesh (save for eating!).
- Carve out a bone shape and place it in fruit Dog’s mouth.
