We found these cool Kraft Jet Puffed star shaped marshmallows in red white and blue which are perfect for any patriotic holiday. I only had strawberries and bananas on hand for the red and white fruit, but blueberries would be a great addition.
I gave my kids a plate with some cut up fruit and marshmallows and let them create their own kabob.

I did cut off the tip of the stick before we started so it would not be sharp. Please keep in mind it is still a stick and children need to be carefully supervised when making this fun snack.

DO YOUR KIDS LOVE COOKING?

I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry and cooperation and more are used while following a recipe.

​Raddish is a monthly subscription box for kids that is a cooking club, culinary lesson, and mealtime solution all-in-one. Young children get to work with an adult, while older kids and teens independently indulge their culinary curiosity! And it’s perfect for picky eaters — kids who cook, eat!

​A new kit is delivered to your doorstep every month​!

Each kit features a new culinary theme! You’ll also get a shopping list emailed to you prior to delivery so you will be ready to cook. These kits are a great way for kids to develop new cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while the entire family builds memories together. Find out more here.
