Fruit Sushi

Pin It

I've had fruit sushi pinned for forever and kept putting on our weekly plans to do, but for the last several months we kept skipping it. I was originally inspired by this post from Serving Pink Lemonade's blog.

Not referring to any instructions or direction, here's what I used.

Fruit Roll-Ups, banana, kiwi fruit, and sliced apples.

Then I just rolled them up.

And put spindles on top because I didn't have coconut.

Can you tell I was playing with my aperture settings?

Then I sliced them up. These are mine.

And these are Miss P's. She had a lot of fun with the sprinkles.

Overall, this was fun to do and kept her entertained.

She mostly stuck to the Fruit Roll-Ups. (It was the first time having them in the house.)

I was disappointed with how unpretty they ended up. You need a very sharp knife to keep the fruit from slipping out as you cut the roll-up: I wasn't expecting that. Also, with the roll-up and sprinkles, I found this WAY too sweet and could barely taste the fruit. Maybe I should have used less roll-up per piece of fruit. Or used something else entirely.

Either way, it was a successful 3-year old activity because we had fun, but I wouldn't serve this to guests.
