Theme: Edible little animal friends made from fruit—part snack, part art!

(Watch for nut and other allergies!!)

Ingredients:

• Seedless grapes (green and red)
• Strawberries (cut in half)
• Banana slices
• Mini marshmallows
• Chocolate chips (mini or regular)
• Long toothpicks or bamboo skewers

Optional extras:

• Peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
• Yogurt for dipping
• Mint leaves for decorative “wings”

Instructions:

1. Create the body: Slide grapes and banana slices onto a skewer to form a caterpillar or a worm shape.
2. Make the face: Use half a strawberry as the “head,” and attach chocolate chips or mini marshmallows as eyes using a dab of peanut butter.
3. Add flair: Use mint leaves or sliced strawberries on the sides to give your critters wings or spikes!
4. Serve chilled: Pop them in the fridge for 15 minutes to make them extra refreshing.

Fun tip: Let kids name their fruit critters and draw a label for each one!
