Using one round seedless watermelon and two personal sized watermelons (one larger and one smaller), cut a \u00bc inch slice off the bottom of each melon to provide a stable base. Use the smallest melon for the head, the next largest for the torso and the largest for the lower body. Set aside the smallest watermelon.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cut the tops off of the large and medium watermelons, as shown, to create bowls. Scoop out flesh, using an ice cream scoop or large spoon.<\/p>\n<p>3. Taking the smallest watermelon that has not yet been cut, scoop out eyes using a melon baller. Invert melon balls and reinsert.<\/p>\n<p>4. Using a mini melon baller or a paring knife, scoop out holes for the nose and mouth. Carve a piece of watermelon into a triangle for the nose, and fill mouth holes with blueberries.<\/p>\n<p>5. Connect all three watermelons on a platter, using large wooden skewers.<\/p>\n<p>6. Insert y-shaped sticks into middle watermelon for arms.<\/p>\n<p>7. Fill bottom sections with fruit salad of melon balls and blueberries.
