I’ve had this on my list of things to do for a while now, and what a perfect time like the school holidays to have a go at this crafty fruit creation.
Let’s make a Tropical Palm Island fruit platter –
Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 1 apple
- grapes
- 1-2 Kiwi fruits
- strawberries
- 1 carrot
Supplies:
- knife
- chopping board
- platter, tray or big serving plate
How to make your island:
- peel your banana and slice long ways through the middle to create the two bendy palm tree trunks. Lay them flat on your platter
- peel or cut skin off kiwi fruit and cut into wedges to create the palm fronds of your trees
- cut the tip off a few strawberries to make little coconuts for your trees – you could also use grapes or sultanas
- cut a side off an apple and cut thin slices to make the beach/ rocky areas of the island
- cut up a few grapes to make as little rocks for your beach area
- slice up one ring of carrot for the sun, and another slice to cut into tiny wedges for the sun’s rays
- last step cut slices carefully through the banana while it is flat on the platter to make bite size pieces but be careful not to mess up your tree trunk
And you are done! What a cute tropical island! You can of course substitute any of the fruits for your favourite ones instead- perhaps add in some pineapple or mango to make it even more tropical.
Last step and the yummiest one by far – grab a fork and dig in!!
