Fairy fruit wands

Keeping everyone busy these days is a challenge so some fun time in the kitchen with a recipe that is easy is just what is needed. Don’t waste the excess fruit – keep it to make a smoothie or a jelly – there you go, another two activities in the kitchen for everyone!

INGREDIENTS

5 strawberries

2 to 3 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced

1 mango, peeled and sliced 1 to 2 bananas, peeled A handful of blueberries

Skewers – be careful with them

Cutters, any shapes will do Sprinkles Chopped nuts Melted chocolate Yoghurt, to dip

METHOD

1

Have the sprinkles, nuts, melted chocolate and yoghurt all in bowls so that the kids can spread or sprinkle over the wands. 2

Place the fruit slices out on a tray. Use sprinkles on fruit before you thread them. 3

Using the shapes cut out stars, hearts or whatever cutters you like. Thread them onto the skewers – they are more impressive if you keep to a pattern but free styling is good as well! 4

Place them on a board or tray or even inserted into a halved orange or melon and serve with chopped nuts, melted chocolate and yoghurt. Other fruits to use: melons, grapes, pineapple.
