Watermelon Pizza

Our Watermelon Pizza Recipe helps your autistic child practice fine motor skills while preparing a colorful, refreshing fruit snack with their favorite toppings.

Watermelon Pizza This not-so-Italian pizza is both equal parts hydrating and fun to make. Your autistic kiddo can practice fine motor skills as they cut up their favorite fruits and assemble their delicious and healthy watermelon pizza. Ingredients:
- Watermelon
- Yogurt
- Fruits of choice Instructions:
1. Slice your watermelon down the middle and cut a 1-inch disc.
2. Cut your disc into six slices to form your pizza slices.
3. Assist your kiddo in preparing their "toppings." Chop your fruits into smaller pieces to make them easier to fit on your slices and reduce possible choking hazards.
4. Spoon some yogurt onto each slice of watermelon. Feel free to add as much or as little as you want, spreading it just before the white rind of the watermelon.
5. Add your chopped-up fruit to each slice, and enjoy!Download Now!
