Tesco has launched a new watermelon pizza-making kit to help parents overcome the challenge of getting their children to eat fruit as part of their five-a-day.
The supermarket giant created the product as a solution to what they described as "one of the most arduous tasks" faced by mums and dads.
The kit, which is aimed at children aged three to nine, includes six wedges of watermelon, a sachet of Greek yoghurt, and a sachet of fruit berry coulis.
Little ones can then assemble their "pizzas" as they wish, decorating the watermelon base with the provided toppings.

Priced at £3.75, the watermelon pizza-making kits offer a fun and interactive way for children to contribute to their recommended five-a-day fruit intake.
Tesco said the product creates "a tasty and exciting way" for youngsters to consume fruit, transforming what can be a daily struggle for many parents into an enjoyable activity.
Tesco hopes the new product will provide a creative and playful solution to an important health concern.
Responsible for the fruity pizza kits is Tesco Product Development Manager Fay Hasnip.
Speaking about her healthy innovation, Fay stated: "Getting kids to eat fruit as part of their five-a-day is never the easiest of tasks.
"We love the idea of a watermelon pizza-making kit as it makes eating joyful. Having tested the concept with our own families, we are sure it will delight young and old alike."
Tesco nutritionist Natasha Maynard also backed the launch, telling shoppers: "Staying hydrated throughout the day can help prevent dehydration. Water and milk are great options for children.
"As well as drinks, we also get some fluids from the foods we eat. Watermelon, for example, has a high-water content and counts towards your five-a-day."
