Cherry Blossom Dried Fruit Skewer Centerpiece Kid's Craft!

Here's a simple and sweet cherry blossom centerpiece using dried fruit skewers that kids can make! And it's perfect for your cherry blossom themed party, as well as Tu B'Shevat, of course!  At the end guests take home individual skewers as party favors, or wrap up a few to make cute bouquets! This is a perfect project for kids to make, either at home or at a school, so gather together the supplies and have fun!

You'll Need:

• 1 orange and 1 grapefruit per centerpiece
• 8-10 skewers per centerpiece
• stiff pink fabric, felt or paper to make flowers
• an assortment of dried fruits and marshmellows
• a plate for the base
• tooth picks

How To: Cut out pink flowers that are about 4 to 5 inches wide. We used disposable table cloth material as it's stiff enough for these flowers, you may opt to use felt or paper. Fill up skewers with dried fruit, top with a flower and then a dried cranberry or raisin. Assemble your base by attaching orange to grapefruit with toothpicks. Cut off bottom of grapefruit if necessary for stability, or use a bowl as the base. Stick skewers into orange, and voila, a cute centerpiece is born!

And look how amazing a whole bunch of these cherry blossom centerpieces look lined up, a fabulous look for your next kid crafted party!
