Benjamin was playing on the computer yesterday and told me that it was National Watermelon day on August 3rd. I knew that we didn't have much on the docket except for laundry so it would be the perfect thing to celebrate after dinner. A quick phone call to dad to stop at the local fruit/vegetable stand for a watermelon and we were in business. I made up an activity sheet for us to do. Below is the activity sheet and us participating in the activities. We also learned new facts about watermelon. Our only hiccup was that it was a seedless watermelon so we couldn't count the seeds. Benjamin also decided that he needed one more activity~ to scoop out a watermelon bowl for us to use again. He is sure he wants to serve bread in it!
