My Fruity Valentine

At the beginning of the school year (during a moment of weakness), I voluntarily agreed

to be the room mom for my son's class. One of the responsibilities of being a room mom

is organizing classroom parties. My son's teacher recently approached me with a request

for the upcoming Valentine's Day party - please provide fruit, lots of fruit. So here are

some hopefully cool ways to serve fruit to a bunch of first graders on Valentine's Day.

Idea #1: Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, simply cut out the shape in a slice of

watermelon...

You can also cut out a heart in a different type of fruit (in this case cantaloupe) and place

it inside the watermelon cutout. My little guy thought this looked, and I quote,

"awesome"!

Idea #2: You can psych the kids out by giving each of them heart-shaped candy boxes

filled with grapes...

Idea #3: What child doesn't like things that come on a stick? Again using the heart-

shaped cutter, you can make fruit kebabs.

Idea #4: My husband thinks this is cheating because it involves chocolate, but I still

think it's a good idea. First cut out 'x' and 'o' shapes in different types of fruit (I used

cantaloupe and bananas) and then lightly dip them in melted chocolate - yum!

Oh my goodness Kristin, I'm the class parent this year too. SCARY. Aussies don't

really throw class parties for Valentine's Day, but as the class parent, that is

about to change... hehe. I cannot wait. I LOVE your fruity ideas:) Hope you have

a lovely Valentine's Day with your loved ones, Jane:)

HI Kristin,

My name is Elena and I am curating a collection of Valentine’s Day recipe ideas

for Looksibite(dot)com. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Looksi but it’s a lot

like FoodGawker: they display a thumbnail image from your blog along with a

short description and a link back to your original project. Typically you would

submit your own images (like you do on FoodGawker) but they also have

curators (such as myself) who do theme based round ups. I think your

watermelon cut-outs would be perfect for my collection which will be published

this Friday. Please let me know if you *don’t* want it included so I can remove it.

Thanks!

Elena
