How to Make Fruit Wands

Adapted from: http://www.4theloveoffamily.com/fresh-fruit-wands/

Ingredients

  • ½ pineapple
  • 12 grapes
  • 2 cups watermelon, cut into small cubes

Recipe Directions

  • Slice off the bottom of the pineapple. Then, leaving the skin on, cut pineapple into slices that are roughly ¾ inches thick.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut a star from the center of each pineapple slice.
  • To begin assembling the wand, press a skewer firmly into one of the pineapple stars. Repeat with remaining pineapple stars.
  • To create the “handle” of the wand, slide grapes and watermelon cubes onto the skewer in the order of your choice. Allow children to design their own wand pattern. Enjoy!
