Watermelon lolly recipe

Keeping yourself and your child hydrated in the heat can feel a little tricky. We all need to take in more water when the temperature rises, and upping your child’s water intake can be a worry – especially if they are not a fan of water!  

A good way of consuming more water is to eat foods that have a high water content. There are many fruits and vegetables that are mainly water, making these ideal side dishes and snacks on sunny days.  

If you are looking for a tasty snack for a hot summer's day, give these single-ingredient watermelon lollies a try. Always make sure that your child is supervised when eating lollies.

You will need: 

• A watermelon – prepackaged watermelon fans work well too 
• Lolly sticks 
  

How to: 

• Slice your watermelon into triangles, each around an inch thick  
• Slide a lolly stick into the rind of each slice 
• If you don’t want to eat your lollies straight away, pop them into the freezer to keep them fresh and cool
