Watermelon Frog as seen on Rachael Ray

Sometimes I have difficulty duplicating a "pretty" recipe but This one did seem easy - even Rachael Ray made it look easy! You start with a nice small plump watermelon and decide which side should be the front. Cut a very thin slice from the bottom of the watermelon so it will sit with out rocking. Next cut a quarter wedge with one cut across the top (cutting only to the middle) and one cut horizontally across the middle (again cutting only to the middle). Now you have the frog with an open mouth. Using a melon baller, cut out melon balls. Finally, scrap the insides smooth. Cut melon balls from the cut out quarter piece. Use the quarter piece to make the frog's feet. Cut two circle from the thins slice to use for the eyes. Attach blueberries to the eyes with toothpicks. Cut a tongue from part of the quarter slice. Fill mouth with a variety of fruit balls, berries and fruit slices. Place some lettuce for the lily pad.
