How about throwing together some simple Grinch kabobs for your next holiday get-together? These adorable little snacks are bound to get people talking. These are such a hit with the kids, they love making them and eating them, which means it’s also a fun afternoon activity to keep them occupied for a few quiet minutes before they eat them all.
One of our Christmas traditions is to watch The Grinch. Both the cartoon and the Jim Carrey version. And you better believe I make up a batch of these to snack on, because, they are simply fun!
Even if your child isn’t a fan of these fruits, often times they will eat them, if they are the ones that put them together.
This also makes for a great low-sugar treat to serve at kids parties, no need for artificial food coloring or overly sugar-filled cookies and cupcakes, just serve these cute little Grinch kabobs!

Grinch Kabobs

More Holiday Ideas:
Those are absolutely adorable, and we watch The Grinch every year too. Thanks for sharing. I rarely dream up cute things like that so I really appreciate those who do and who share.
Ooh, I want to do this. Although I might have to use peeled kiwis instead of grapes, just cuz I love them and need more excuse to eat them.
Is there a way to preserve the fruit a few hours before the party?
I haven’t done it with bananas, but I’ve often given sliced apples a quick dip in lightly salted water and it keeps them from turning brown.
How do you keep the bananas from browning?Lemon Juice???
We eat them too fast, but if I had to wait to serve them, I would dip them in lemon juice or salt water.

You can give them a quick dip in salt water. But we normally just eat them right away. 🙂
