Monsters University is out and to celebrate the new movie and Summer. Why not make a ‘Melon Mike’, courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
Directions/Recipe Below
Supplies Needed:
One Small or Medium-Sized Watermelon
One Cutting Board
Non-Toxic Tempera Paints (white, black, and red/pink)
Small Paintbrush
Newspapers
One Kitchen Knife
Four Cornhusks
Glue
1. Prep your area, lay down some newspaper first. You will need a kitchen knife, cutting board, paint, paint brushes, and newspapers to work on.
2. Prep your monster/melon. With the help of a parent or adult, use a kitchen knife to cut a
round watermelon in half vertically on top of your cutting board. Take one half of the watermelon, and place it so that the green outside is facing you.
3. Make ‘em scream or laugh. With your paintbrush and paints, paint a mouth just below the center of the watermelon. Feel free to include a smile or even a set of scary teeth or poke in some tooth picks for an even scarier grin.
4. Don’t forget Mike’s signature eye. With white paint, make a circle above the mouth let this dry then use the black paint to add a pupil in the center of the eye. Take a look at the real Mike as a guide.
5. Add some hands and legs! Add limbs and horns to your watermelon Mike with cornhusks. Cut a cornhusk into two long strips for legs, and four shorter strips for arms and feet. On the shorter strips, cut two triangles in one end of each piece for Mike’s fingers and toes. Next,
cut two small triangles out of the remaining cornhusk to add as horns. Attach Mike’s arms, legs, and horns to the watermelon with scotch tape or glue.
6. Show off your Scarer. With your watermelon Mike complete, share it with your fellow Scarers!
