Edible Art!
Want to create something with the kids that you don’t have to keep and store for years to come? Make it edible (and healthy)! This may look fancy, but was actually quite easy. It turned out beautifully and was SO delicious.
Ingredients and tools:
Grapes
Apples
Pineapple
Honeydew melon
Cantaloupe
Strawberries
Apple
Chocolate chips
Cookie cutters
Skewers
Ridged French fry cutter (we found this tool at the Dollar Store)
Melon baller
Waxed paper
Flower pot, bowl or vase
Florist foam
- Cut an apple into slices and dip in melted chocolate. Leave to dry on waxed paper. Poke onto skewer once chocolate is completely hardened.
- Little ones will love skewering grapes, strawberries and melon balls. Bigger, stronger hands will love cutting star and flower shapes from pineapple and sticking on a skewer. Mom or Dad can cut melon with the ridged fry cutter and then skewer.
- Cut and place florist foam in the bottom of a pot, bowl or vase.
- Arrange all skewered fruit by poking into the foam. Make it nice and full.
- Enjoy!
