These festive 4th of July skewers are the perfect treat for your upcoming holiday party. They’re a great snack for little hands to help with, and they make a colorful treat for the table.
Supplies for 4th of July Kabobs:
- skewers, these are 10 inch
- strawberries, cut up in 4ths
- mini marshmallows
- blueberries
Wash and dry your fruit, cut your strawberries in fourths, now you’re ready to go. You can make them in fun patterns or just random. A helpful tip: add your fruit first, as it will help the sticky marshmallows slide right on down. If you try to add a marshmallow to a dry stick, it will get all gummy and sticky.
The funnest part is seeing what the kids choose to place on the skewers. My son loves blueberries, so after a few of the skewers made with patterns, he made one for him with all blueberries. Yum.
These would be a perfect treat for any summertime party. Have fun making these, beating the heat with something sweet to eat.
