Watermelon is naturally sweet and packed with electrolytes, making it an excellent choice for keeping babies & toddlers cool and refreshed. It is made up of about 90% water, which makes it incredibly hydrating—an important feature for kids who may not drink enough water during hot weather. This high water content helps keep them cool and hydrated while also supporting digestion and overall bodily functions. It is also a good source of vitamins A and C, which are important for immune function and healthy skin. Additionally, watermelon contains antioxidants that help protect the body from harmful free radicals.

This watermelon shaved ice is not only a nutritious and delicious treat but also a fun sensory experience for kids. The bright color, cool temperature, and unique texture makes it an exciting and enjoyable way for your little one to stay hydrated and nourished.

Optional for added flavor:

You can change things up and enhance the flavor of the shaved ice. Try adding some berries like strawberries or raspberries. This recipe goes really well with a splash of lime juice, a few mint leaves or a drizzle of honey for older kids and adults.
