Looking to add a little awesome to your Thanksgiving table this year?
How about a Fruit Kabob Turkey?! 🙂
I wish I could tell you that I made this masterpiece, but hahaha! Noah was in a special Thanksgiving play last year with his kindergarten class. After the program, some of the parents hosted a big reception and that is where I found this guy.
What’s funny is I am pretty certain that I was supposed to have made and brought something to this reception, but I was drowning in teaching 2-year-olds and completely incapacitated to doing anything other than that! Well, that and throwing Cheerios at my kids around dinnertime while I laid on the couch in a coma. 😉
All that to say, MAN! There are some amazing people out there who know how to turn a pumpkin into a turkey – without the help of Cinderella’s fairy godmother.
I am going to let the photos speak for themselves, but here is a quick breakdown of materials/fruits needed…
- Pumpkin
- Pear
- Pineapple
- Apples
- Honeydew
- Watermelon
- Grapes
- Cheddar cheese chunks
- Skewers and toothpicks
- Googly eyes (and a little hot glue for attaching!)
A little patience as you thread all of those skewers is the most important thing that’s needed for this show-stopping gobbler!
Have fun!
Joyfully,
Julie 🙂

So awesome! I love that you do things like this. =) And the boys do TOO, even when they don’t show it. xoxo

Hi. Do you put the holes with the actual skewers? Won’t they break? Do you use something else ?
Thank you
Sandy
how do you get the pear to stick to the pumpkin?
How do you keep the fruit from turning brown while on display?
Did you use fruit fresh or anything to keep these from turning brown ?
