These sandwiches will be an excellent decoration of the New Year's children's table. Making them somewhat more difficult, because at the exit they should resemble the New Year's red hats with a white rim, in which Santa Claus usually comes.

They make hats from strawberries - cut off a wide part with a sharp knife. The rest with a sharp end already looks like a hat. Bananas are cut into circles, and marshmallows are cut into circles no more than 0.5 cm thick.

They put a grape, a slice of banana and a strawberry “cap” on a skewer. Complements the design piece of marshmallow. Then repeat all over several times. New Year's hats, strung on a skewer.

Disassemble the mandarin into slices and carefully, without crushing them, select the bones with a knife. Cheese and marmalade should be cut into identical cubes (centimeter per centimeter). The grapes are washed and removed from the twigs.

They put cheese on a skewer, then a half of mandarin lobule, a grape and finish it all with a piece of bright striped marmalade.

Another option is a treat that will surely attract the attention of young guests.

You will need:

• watermelon (several pieces);
• pineapple (fresh or canned);

This type of canapés may well replace a cake or a cake at a children's party. It turns out very tasty and satisfying, but the children's stomach does not overload, since fruit and berries are the basis of it all the same.

You will need:

• 100 grams of strawberries;
• mandarin;
• banana;
• 100 grams of blackberry;

Use a sharp knife or metal shape to divide the biscuit cake into small squares. The berries are washed, the bananas are cut into circles, and the mandarin is divided into traditional slices.

The assembly procedure is as follows: first put on a biscuit, then any fruit or berry, then - again the biscuit cube and another fruit. The design is completed with a biscuit cube. You can sprinkle ready canapes with powdered sugar or coconut flakes.

The following tips will help you prepare a beautiful, tasty and healthy treat:

• use only fresh fruits and berries, canapes of frozen fruits and berries will give a lot of juice and water, the pieces will not look appetizing;
• wash components well before cutting;
• cut foods and build small structures on skewers, preferably just before serving, as earlier cutting will lead to loss of juiciness and darkening of certain fruits;
• Try to use in each canape fruits and berries of different colors - so ready mini sandwiches will be more vivid and noticeable.
