Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Gather your materials.
Note: We used foods that we had at home, but you can get creative with anything you find at the market!
Step 2
We started with the strawberries and grapes.
To shape the strawberries, I cut out the stem and sliced the berries into heart-like slices.
To shape the grapes, I cut them at a diagonal
Step 3
To create grape hearts, my kids used toothpicks to attach the two grape halves together to form little grape hearts. They loved seeing the adorable grape hearts come together.
Step 4
To shape the melons, I cut them into 1/2� thick slices. Then my kids used cookie cutters to punch out hearts in the fruit.
Step 5
We used the cookie cutters to shape the cheese slices as well.
Final result!
All of our heart snacks were arranged on a platter. It's funny how my kids seem to enjoy food that they help prepare that much more than when I just put something in front of them. Hope you enjoy making and partaking in these Valentine-inspired snacks!
