How to Make Rainbow Fruit Skewers

You only need fruit, skewers, and mini powdered donuts—that’s it!

Ingredients for Each Color:

You can mix and match based on what your kids like best, but here are some easy fruit ideas for each color of the rainbow:

• Red – Strawberries, raspberries, watermelon
• Orange – Orange slices, cantaloupe, mango
• Yellow – Pineapple, banana slices
• Green – Green grapes, kiwi, honeydew
• Blue – Blueberries
• Purple – Blackberries, purple grapes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Wash and prep your fruit. If needed, slice larger fruits into bite-sized pieces.
2. Assemble your skewers. Use 3.75-inch bamboo skewers (or longer ones for a party) and slide the fruit on in rainbow order.
3. Add the “clouds.” Place a mini powdered donut on either side of the rainbow for a cute finishing touch.
4. Arrange & serve. Lay them out in a rainbow shape on individual plates or a larger serving platter for a party. (If you’re making a big platter, use longer skewers and double up on the fruit!)

Top Tips:

• Prep ahead: Cut your fruit in advance and store it in the fridge so you can assemble the skewers quickly.
• Customize it: Use whatever fruit your kids love—no need to stick to the “official” colors!
• Make it extra fun: Serve with a side of vanilla yogurt or whipped cream for dipping.

These Rainbow Fruit Skewers are not only adorable and festive, but they’re also a healthy treat that kids will actually eat.

Whether it’s for St. Patrick’s Day, a birthday party, or just a random Tuesday, this is an easy way to add some magic to the day.
