Fruit Skewer Rockets | Camp Little Victors

5…4…3…2…1…Ready for liftoff! You’ll feel like an astronaut while snacking on these fruit rocket ships.

What You’ll Need:

  • Whole strawberries, with the top/leaves trimmed off
  • Green or red seedless grapes
  • Square pieces of cantaloupe or honeydew melon, with a small triangle cut out of the bottom (see photo above)
  • Wooden skewers

Young children will need an adult’s help with some of the slicing and skewering in this recipe.

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Have an adult help you wash and trim the fruit as mentioned in the ingredients section above.
  • Step 2: Carefully slide a strawberry with the pointed end of the strawberry facing toward the top of your skewer (see photo above). Slide it all the way to the top of the skewer.

  • Step 3: Carefully slide grapes onto the skewer so the first one touches the bottom of the strawberry and continue adding them until you almost reach the bottom end of the skewer.
  • Step 4: Carefully slide on the piece of melon with the triangle side facing the bottom of the skewer to make your rocket ship’s bottom wings (see photo above).
  • Step 5: Refuel your inner astronaut with your healthy rocket ship snack!
