Here’s your guide to creating Easter melon shapes that are as nutritious as they are enchanting. Grab your melon cutters, and let’s hop into health this Easter!

Step 1: Picking the Right Melons

Before you begin, select ripe and sweet watermelon and honeydew from your local farmer’s market or grocery store. Look for melons that feel heavy for their size—they’re usually the juiciest.

Step 2: Preparing Your Workstation

• Clear a clean, flat surface.
• Gather bunny, chick, egg, and rabbit-shaped cutters.
• Have a cutting board and sharp knife ready.
• Keep paper towels on hand for any juice.

Step 3: Prepping the Melon

• Cut the watermelon and honeydew into 1-inch thick slices.
• Remove seeds from watermelon slices. Honeydew seeds can be scooped out with a spoon.
• Pat slices with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4: Making the Shapes

• Press your chosen cutters firmly into the melon slices.
• Gently push out the shaped melon pieces onto a clean plate.

Step 5: Arranging Your Easter Platter

• Arrange the melon shapes on a festive platter. Get creative!
• Intersperse your melon shapes with fresh berries for added color and variety.
• If you like, garnish with mint leaves for a fresh pop of green.

Step 6: Adding the Final Touches

Chill your festive melon platter in the refrigerator before serving. This ensures the treats are wonderfully refreshing and gives you time to tend to other preparations—or simply relax with your loved ones.

Step 7: Enjoying Your Treats

Serve your healthy Easter melon shapes as part of your holiday brunch or as a sweet afternoon snack. They’re sure to bring smiles and make for a memorable Easter tradition!
