Fruit Cars

This week was the Awana Grand Prix for the little kids at church.  My son was super excited about racing his car and his mommy was less than excited about bringing the car-themed snack.  But this actually ended up being really easy and really fun.

Step 1: Make the Flags
I used tooth picks and little post-it pop up things.  The Pinterest picture showed a black and white checkered flag, but I wasn't about to try to make those.  I have a ton of these at school and never use them.

Pull out a tab and place the toothpick in the center.

Fold the tab over the toothpick to create the flag :)

Do this 36 times, or however many you want.  I made 36 too.

Step 2: Cut up the apples
Cut the apples using a little apple slicer thing.

Insert two toothpicks into the apple slice horizontally.

Then stick grapes on the ends to make the wheels.

Step 3: Add the Flags
Insert the flags into the top of the apple slice.

Step 4: Serve!

They were served with this adorable little candy car.  WAY more work than mine, but I can definitely say mine was healthier!

And of course, I had to sneak this in - a picture of my boy at the Grand Prix!
