Christmas Banana Snowmen
Materials:
2 bananas
1/4 of a carrot
Handful of currants or sultanas chopped
3 strawberries
6 grapes
6 skewers
Directions:
- Cut the bananas into thick slices (approx. 9 rounds per banana) –
- Peel the carrot and cut into small triangular slivers for a pointy nose –
- Trim the stem from the strawberries and then cut in half. You should get two hats out of each strawberry –
- Cut the grapes in half. (We only used the smooth half and ate the stem end) –
- To assemble, thread three slices of banana on to each skewer followed by a strawberry hat and grape half. Gently press the currents into the banana slices to create eyes and the buttons on the body then add the carrot nose
Enjoy!
