Healthy Kids Party Food

These adorable little caterpillar fruit kabobs were a huge hit at our garden party we hosted earlier this month! The girls loved them and I loved that they were a healthy, fun kids party food without all the sugar that usually comes with party food. They were quick and easy to make too! These would work great for a Very Hungry Caterpillar themed party, an animal themed party, or just a fun playdate snack.

To make them start with a wood skewer which you can find at any big box store or kitchen store. Slide a grape on about 1/3 of the way down the skewer and stop.

Finish until you have an inch or so of wood skewer sticking up.

Top with a strawberry as shown. Slice the greens off the top creating a flat surface for the back of the head.

Next use frosting to add sugar eyes to the caterpillars. I bought the Wilton sugar eyes in the cake decorating section and just used regular frosting to attach them to the strawberries. Aren’t they cute?! Almost too cute to eat. Almost.

Easy kids party food that you can make in about ten minutes but looks magazine ready!

    I love this. I’m just curious how you got the eyes to stick to the Strawberries.

      I used just a small amount of frosting to attach the eyes. It dries and holds them perfectly while still being edible.

    Hi I am a speech therapist who is trying to put together a visual recipe for children with autism. Would you be happy for me to use your photos in the template I’m making? They would be part of the steps and I would be placing te t with symbols underneath. Photo credit would be given to you of course!

    Hi Sarah,

    I am really lucky I found this. I want to make a very easy and special snack for my kid’s birthday, your Caterpillar Fruit Kabob looks healthy. How long do you think these will remain fresh before the party?
