A big bite
Standing on its hind legs, the little unicorn holds a slice of watermelon wider than itself in both hooves and bites into it: a mouthful is already missing from the edge. Its sunglasses are pushed up on its head, just behind its horn.
A day at the beach
Behind it, the sea makes little waves, and a beach umbrella is planted in the sand. A bucket and a shovel are waiting for the next sandcastle. In the sky, the sun shines near the clouds, and an ice cream cone seems to float by, like a craving for dessert.
A slice to color
The unicorn and the watermelon slice are big shapes, easy to color at four. The seeds are small: you can color them one by one or leave them white. The umbrella gets colored section by section, like slices of a cake.
Red, green and blue
The watermelon’s flesh is red or pink, its rind dark green with a light green band, and its seeds black. The sea is blue, the sand beige. The umbrella can have stripes in two bright colors, and the sunglasses can have tinted lenses.
A word for the grown-up: cut a watermelon in front of your child and count the seeds in their slice together, lining them up along the edge of the plate. At four, counting all the way to the end is a real challenge, and the reward gets eaten right away.
