How to make the grape bob the builder snack

This cute snack idea is cute and simple, just have the kids arrange the grapes for you (taking them off the vine, great for fine motor skills, and then you can continue to create them.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of green grapes (these will form the base of the hat)
• 2-3 pineapple chunks (to form the top of the hat)
• Toothpicks or small skewers (optional, for assembling the snack)
• 1-2 small pieces of yellow fruit or cheese (optional, for adding a “tool belt” effect around the base of the hat)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Grapes
   Wash and dry the green grapes. These will make up the main structure of Bob the Builder’s hat, so make sure they are bite-sized and ready for stacking.
2. Build the Base of the Hat
   Take a small bowl or plate and start arranging the grapes in a circular pattern, stacking them one on top of another. Aim for a shape that’s wide at the bottom and slightly smaller at the top, resembling the base of Bob’s classic construction hat.
3. Add the Pineapple Top
   Once your grape base is ready, take the pineapple chunks and stack them on top of the grapes. You can use a toothpick or skewer to hold the pineapple in place. Arrange the pineapple pieces to form a cylindrical shape at the top, mimicking the top of Bob’s hard hat.
4. Optional: Add a “Tool Belt”
   For an extra fun touch, use small pieces of yellow fruit or cheese to mimic the tool belt that Bob wears. Place them around the base of the grape structure to resemble the tools that Bob might carry. This step adds a playful and creative element that kids will enjoy!
5. Serve and Enjoy
   Once your Bob the Builder snack is assembled, it’s ready to serve! You can give it to your little builder as a fun, nutritious treat. The sweet taste of grapes and pineapple makes it a delightful snack that’s both healthy and entertaining.

For instance below, you can add 3 or 4 grapes on a skewer and then a hat shapes pineapple or mango at the top to mimic the top hat, super cute right?
