Soft Watermelon Sticks

Ingredients

• 1 slice seedless watermelon

Method

1. 01

   Slice a seedless watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds.

2. 02

   Remove any seeds if present.

3. 03

   Cut the rounds into thick finger-length sticks, keeping the rind on for grip if desired.

4. 04

   The rind acts as a natural handle for babies learning to self-feed.

5. 05

   Serve immediately at room temperature or slightly chilled.

How to offer

Place 2–3 watermelon sticks on the high chair tray. The rind provides a safe grip while baby gums the soft flesh. Supervise closely and remove rind pieces if they break off.
