All you need to make these easy-to-assemble Firecracker Fruit Kabobs are:
- watermelon
- banana
- kiwi
- strawberries
- cantaloupe
- skewers
Please note that if there will be little to no adult supervision while the kiddos are assembling these kabobs, use plastic skewers to prevent any injuries from happening. Maybe even for the adults too. Hey, I’m known to be very clumsy. You never want to give me anything sharp without being monitored, so if you are inviting me over to make these, I’ll need the plastic safe ones. Thank you.
