Color Me Cool: Watermelon

HEALTHY FOOD IN LIVING COLOR: MOUTH-WATERING WATERMELON

Watermelon’s distinctive striped outer shell and the rich color of its flesh make it a fun food for coloring. But before you get the red crayon out, take your kids to this UCLA Science and Food website post on watermelon to show them the fruit comes in other colors, too. Who knew?!
