My granddaughter, as well as all of my kids, are true fruit lovers. So when the five-year-old princess wanted strawberries and blueberries for her birthday, her mother made a really cute fruit plate designed like a rainbow. Originally, it was very pretty but after the pack of small children got through with it, not so much. The taste was good, but the design was gone.
She also made a little tree of suckers that was an easy part of the treat bag once the fun was done and they bounced out of the door. You take Styrofoam that is used for flower arranging and starting at the bottom, work your way to the top putting suckers in layers. It took 4 bags of suckers.
The fruit tray is such an easy finger food for special occasions that I just had to share it for the upcoming season.
