These banana-based snowmen are decidedly more tropical than the frosty variety, and kids can assemble their own if you prepare the fruit for them.
What you'll need
- Bananas
- Grapes
- Carrot
- Apple
- Bamboo skewers
- Mini chocolate chips or raisins
- Pretzel sticks
How to make it
- For each snowman, you will need three thick slices of banana, a grape, a sliver of carrot, and a triangular piece of apple. (Tip: Poke a hole in the apple piece with a bamboo skewer first to make assembly easier.)
- Have your kids slide the fruit onto the skewer, then use the carrot slivers for noses, mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, and pretzel sticks for arms.
Variations:
Frosty The Bagel
Brrr-ing an open-faced bagel to life with veggie earmuffs and a colorful smile.
What you'll need
- mini bagel
- cream cheese
- 1 baby carrot
- sliced black olives
- sliced red pepper
- celery
- broccoli
How to make it
- Spread half a mini bagel with cream cheese, then add a baby carrot nose, sliced black olive eyes, and a sliced red pepper mouth.
- For the earmuffs, simply curve a thinly sliced piece of celery along the top of the bagel as shown and hold it in place with a broccoli floret at each end.
