How To Make Caterpillar Grape Skewers

Recipe by stacie

Caterpillar grape skewers turn fresh fruit into a fun, healthy snack for kids. Easy to make with grapes, strawberries, and candy eyes for a cute spring treat.


  • Total Time10

Ingredients

  • Green grapes (seedless)
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Wooden skewers or blunt kid-safe skewers
  • Candy eyes (small size)
  • Frosting


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Wash grapes and strawberries well. Lay them out on paper towels and pat dry. Removing excess moisture helps everything stay in place during assembly.

Step 2: Thread the Grapes

Slide grapes onto each skewer one at a time. Fill most of the skewer, leaving room at the point for the strawberry head and a little space at the end to hold the skewer. A neat row creates that classic caterpillar look.

Step 3: Add the Strawberry Head

Place one strawberry at the front of the skewer, with the pointed end facing outward. The leafy top can sit like a tiny tuft of hair.

Step 4: Attach the Eyes

Use a tiny dab of frosting on the back of each candy eye. Press gently onto the strawberry to create a face. The frosting acts as edible glue and keeps things secure.

Step 5: Adjust and Serve

If the strawberry doesn’t sit flat, a small slice can be trimmed from the bottom for stability. Arrange the caterpillar grape skewers on a plate, and they are ready for snack time.
