My daughter had a sleepover birthday party last night. We like to have at least one healthy food at her birthday parties … and it usually involves fruit. This year I suggested rainbow fruit kebabs. My girl wasn’t too excited about the idea until I showed her a picture. Then she was sold.
These were a huge hit with the girls at the party. They were gone in an instant. Somehow the fruit in a bowl just didn’t have the same appeal … well, food is always more fun on a stick, right?
These are super simple. All you need are fruit chunks for each color of the rainbow and some skewer sticks. Put the fruit on a stick in the order of the rainbow. Arrange them in a fan to make a rainbow.
We used:
- Purple: red grapes
- Blue: Blueberries
- Green: Honeydew melon
- Yellow: Pineapple
- Orange: Cantaloupe
- Red: Strawberries

I usually make a fruit tray for the grandkids, but these are much prettier! Great idea!
Thanks Anita. I don’t know what it was about putting the fruit on sticks … they just LOVED these so much more than the same fruit in a bowl. I think it’s just the visual appeal along with the fun of eating something on a stick.
SOooo pretty and healthy, too!! My grand kids would love these.
they would! 🙂
