Jimbo’s Watermelon Pizza Recipe

Activity best for children age 2 and up

On the first Friday of every month, the Museum partners with Jimbo’s… Naturally! to bring new ideas for tasty treats that families can make together at home. Using seasonal ingredients that can be found in the garden is a great way to engage children in activities and help them learn more about nutrition. For those ingredients you can’t get in your backyard, you can visit Jimbo’s!

This month, Jimbo’s is providing a fun recipe you can make from the comfort of your home – Watermelon Pizza! This yummy snack is the perfect way to cool off after a long summer day.
