Fruity Strawberry Snake
You can easily make a strawberry snake yourself. It's healthy, delicious, and looks really fun. While doing this, you'll practice cutting, threading, and being creative. The snake is perfect as a snack in between meals or as a centerpiece at a children's birthday party. And the best part: it's not only pretty but also healthy. Strawberries are high in vitamin C, and bananas keep you full. So, you can have fun while doing something good for your health. While crafting with fruit, you'll also learn: food can not only taste good but also be really fun. And when you create your own food, you enjoy eating it twice as much. So, are you ready for your own strawberry snake?
What you'll need

How it works
-
You need a few strawberries and bananas. Wash the strawberries well.

Cut the strawberries and bananas into slices. Save one whole strawberry for the head of the snake!
-
Start laying your strawberry and banana slices alternately in a wavy line. Begin with the whole strawberry as the head and then continue with the slices until your snake is complete.

For the eyes, you can use special small skewers if you have them. Alternatively, blueberries, small pieces of other fruits, or even small marshmallows work too.
-
Now your strawberry snake is ready! It not only looks great but also tastes delicious. You can eat and enjoy it now. Show it to your friends and family and tell them how you made it.
