These festive 4th of July skewers are the perfect treat for your upcoming holiday party. They’re a great snack for little hands to help with, and they make a colorful treat for the table.
Supplies for 4th of July Kabobs:
- skewers, these are 10 inch
- strawberries, cut up in 4ths
- mini marshmallows
- blueberries
Wash and dry your fruit, cut your strawberries in fourths, now you’re ready to go. You can make them in fun patterns or just random. A helpful tip: add your fruit first, as it will help the sticky marshmallows slide right on down. If you try to add a marshmallow to a dry stick, it will get all gummy and sticky.
The funnest part is seeing what the kids choose to place on the skewers. My son loves blueberries, so after a few of the skewers made with patterns, he made one for him with all blueberries. Yum.
These would be a perfect treat for any summertime party. Have fun making these, beating the heat with something sweet to eat.

Yum! I had a fruit skewer at my recipe club a couple weeks ago that was so good…cheesecake bites, pineapple and strawberries. I bet that would be good with the strawberries and blueberries too for another patriotic skewer. I never thought to put cheesecake bites on a skewer before, but it was really good!
What a good idea! My boys will love this 4th of July snack!
I’ve got a daughter that would love these!
I had to laugh when you mentioned how the kids put the food on the skewers. I found out that my oldest loves pineapples the night we were doing chicken nuggets, pineapples and green peppers on skewers. Hers was pretty much all pineapples.
Looks yummy. I will have to try them.
Great idea. I haven’t tried skewers before with my kids, but this looks really yummy!
I’m not doing anything fancy for 4th of July, but I just may try these for hubby and I! :)
Yum! Those look really good!
Such a great idea! Thanks!
we made these last night at a play date…come by the blog and see the pics! thanks for saving me with five kids! :)
This is such a great idea! Thanks tons, I’ll be linking.
I saw these over at the Crafty Crow. They are just great. I think my kids would love to make these. As long as I can keep the youngest from eating all the blueberries before they were made.
Thanks for the great idea! We just finished making ours, and my 4 year old had a blast with it!
I made these for our party today and they were a hit! My 2yo “helped” though his skewers needed a little embellishing once he was “done” with them! Thanks for a great, easy treat
Marie! These are genius. I made them this morning and took them to a BBQ and they were the hit of the party for adults and kids alike. :) The skys really the limit with what you could put on these – I made some with pineapple instead of marshmallows. Thanks so much for the idea. I love reading your blog. :)
This has become a new family tradition for us! Thanks for the great idea.
Thanks for a great idea! I just posted about how well it went with our family. My kids are super excited about future fruit kabob adventures! Thanks again.
So glad these were a hit for so many of you! They are the perfect treat for little hands, and will be used for lots of parties in all kinds of colors and fruits!
Thanks for this idea! I had everything to make them and it was lots of fun, we munched on them while watching fireworks from our yard :)
I’m a big fan of skewers. We made fruit skewers, veggie skewers, sandwich skewers and dessert skewers. I absolutely love the colour and look of your though…
LBS posted about these, and I thought they looked like fun, so we totally made them for the Fourth this year. My DBF is very allergic to many processed foods, so instead of marshmallows we used chunks of honeydew melon. They came out looking very pretty and they were a real hit–none left over. Thanks for the suggestion!
Love the kabobs!!
