Vitamins off the Vine

National Watermelon Day is August 3, but LICM will continue the celebration today. Watermelons are high in Vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant that helps prevent cancer. They are also 92% water, which is also good for the body! Have a taste of this nutritious summer fruit, play our count-the-seeds guessing game, and break our watermelon piñata! The Get Up and Go series is sponsored by The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York.

All ages.
