This Dr. Seuss snack recipe is a delight to make and eat. My kids love this easy fruit snack. It’s a great way to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday or incorporate it into any Dr. Seuss reading lesson. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate at home than to make these tasty fruit kabobs inspired by the book The Cat in the Hat – one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books.

Aren’t they the cutest? Believe me, I was scared to draw faces on the marshmallows because drawing is not my strong suit, but they turned out great. They are completely edible since the markers are made out of edible material.  

How to make Cat in the Hat Fruit Kabobs

Making this Dr. Seuss snack is incredibly easy and sure to impress others! 

Cat in the Hat Fruit Treat Supplies 

• Food Writer Marker – (Don’t use a real marker. This is an edible marker!)
• Bananas
• Strawberries
• Bamboo Skewers – (I cut mine in half to get rid of the sharp tip and to make them shorter)
• Marshmallows
• Lemon Juice – if you plan to serve these the next day, find out how to keep the bananas from browning here.

Dr. Seuss dessert instructions 

1. Using Wilton’s Food Writer Marker, draw cat faces on one side of the marshmallow.  Don’t worry if they don’t look perfect. From far away it will look fine and it’s what’s inside that really counts. Believe me, they are tasty!
2. Slice bananas into pieces.
3. Slice strawberries into pieces and also caught off the tip of each strawberry to resemble a cone/triangle shape. (This will be the top of the hat.)
4. Next, grab a Bamboo Skewer to begin layering the food in this order: marshmallow, strawberry slice, banana, strawberry slice, banana and top with the strawberry tip that looks like a hat top.
5. Repeat steps until done with all kabobs. Enjoy!
