    The summer holidays are just around the corner and because of the amazing weather we've been having recently, I already feel like we're in holiday mode! The evenings are warm and light, we're losing track of time so the boys keep accidentally staying up later and we're thoroughly enjoying the sunshine.

    Because of the heat we've been keeping our meals light and relaxed so we're all nibbling our way through extra snacks, especially fruit! Melon is particularly popular in our house at the moment and these melon fruit kebabs make the perfect healthy snack idea for summer.

    As well as tasting delicious, they look really pretty too, and if you want a mini project to keep the kids occupied in the summer holidays, why not let them make them all by themselves? They'll have loads of fun using the melon baller and cutting out the shapes, then threading them all together in whatever patterns their imaginations can come up with.

    They're fab to bring to a party or barbecue too, these sweet and juicy fruit kebabs are sure to be a hit with everyone. Best of all, they're great for helping keep the kids hydrated too!
