4TH OF JULY FRUIT KABOBS

4th of July Fruit Kabobs image

I make these fruit skewers every year for the 4th of July for the kids and they are always a major hit - older kids can help with the assembly. Don't cut the watermelon too thinly, otherwise the stars will break when you are trying to skewer them.
