Ingredients

• 1 medium Watermelon
• 1 small Cantaloupe
• 1 small Honeydew melon
• 2 cups Grapes
• 2 cups Strawberries
• 1 cup Blueberries
• 4 pieces Wooden skewers
• 2 Round citrus fruit (e.g., oranges or limes) for wheels

Directions

Step 1

Place the watermelon on a flat surface and cut off the top third horizontally. This will serve as the 'lid' of the carriage. Set it aside for later use or discard if preferred.

Step 2

Scoop out the flesh of the watermelon using a melon baller or large spoon, ensuring that the rind is clean and hollowed out. Save the watermelon flesh for the fruit filling.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, carve out one of the long sides of the watermelon to create a 'carriage opening.' Carefully smooth and shape the edges for a polished look.

Step 4

Scoop the flesh from the cantaloupe and honeydew melon with a melon baller. Combine with the watermelon balls in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the grapes, strawberries, and blueberries to the bowl and gently mix to create the fruit salad filling for the carriage.

Step 6

For the wheels, slice the round citrus fruit crosswise into even rounds. Using wooden skewers, attach a slice on each side of the watermelon near the base to create the appearance of wheels.

Step 7

If desired, cut another small circular hole on the opposite side of the opening to represent a 'handle.' You can insert a skewer or decorative element for effect.

Step 8

Fill the hollowed-out watermelon baby carriage with the prepared fruit salad. Arrange it neatly to enhance presentation.

Step 9

If using the reserved watermelon lid, prop it up at an angle to resemble the cover of a baby carriage.

Step 10

Refrigerate the assembled watermelon baby carriage until ready to serve. Serve chilled as a centerpiece and treat at your baby shower or event.
