Celebrate Canada Day with these fun and healthy patriotic Canada Day Fruit Kabobs. They are super easy to put together and everyone will love eating them. A perfect addition to your Canada Day celebrations!
I found this super cute Maple Leaf Cookie Cutter on Amazon and bought it on impulse. I have a ton of ideas for it – none of which involve cookies for some reason but this one was the easiest and the one I knew my kids would love the most. I only made 4 – enough to photograph but they were gone within seconds of allowing the girls to eat them. Seriously… fruit on sticks with adorable maple leaf watermelon slice? Better than candy!
I did later on see a Maple Leaf Cookie Cutter at Bulk Barn but I didn’t like the shape as much – it was wider and not quite the same as the typical Canadian Maple Leaf. Still, it is a good option if you do not have an Amazon account.
