Instructions
- Wash and dry all your fruit.
- Prep the strawberries: remove tops and cut into 1-inch chunks.
- Cube the cheddar cheese into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes.
- Cube the pineapple into 1/2-inch chunks.
- Drain the mozzarella pearls and pat dry.
- Lay out all prepped ingredients in rows by color.

Notes
For toddlers, cut fruit into very small pieces and serve in a bowl instead of on skewers. Use room-temperature cheese for easier cubing. Pat all fruit dry to prevent sogginess. Leave half an inch of empty skewer at the bottom for little hands to hold.
