Edible Arrangements: Teen Style



In the summer of 2009, I decided that there needed to be a Teen Summer Reading Club. Not only were there prizes involved, but we hosted about 10 programs for teens that summer including the library's first-ever lock-in. It was a big hit and we had 25 teens attend! One of the activities we offered was for teens to make their own Edible Arrangements. Linda pre-cut pieces of cheese with a flower shaped cookie cutter and teens were then able to make their flowers using strawberries, blueberries, and grapes. Colorful Chinese food containers were used as the 'vase' for these arrangements with a piece of styrofoam in the bottom to hold the skewers in place. It's always nice when we can provide a healthy snack.
