Say my name, say my name. 

Most delicious place-cards you’ll ever make – promise. And if this doesn’t get the kids eating fruit then we literally don’t know what will. The younger one’s can use this as an exercise to learn how to spell too(!)

What you’ll need… 

  • Fruit (melons work the best – watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew)
  • Small alphabet cookie cutters (3/4 inch tall)
  • Wood skewers

How to…

  1. Start by slicing pieces of fruit into 1/2 inch to 1 inch thick slices
  2. Then arrange the letters for each guests name onto the fruit slices. Push the cookie cutters all the way through the fruit. Then pop the fruit out carefully from each cookie cutter.
  3. Once you’ve cut out all of the letters for each guests name, it’s time to start assembling the kabobs. Using the pointy end of a wooden skewer, start gently threading the letters onto the skewer, by poking the skewer through each letter.
  4. Next, cut some additional shapes (triangles, squares, etc) from the leftover melon slices with a knife and add them to each end of the skewer.

We challenge you not to eat the fruit as you make these! Tip: make sure you don’t leave your placecards out too long. Best served chilled 😉
