Having kids gives you a whole new appreciation for your parents, am I right?! As my kids get older, my gratitude only increases. In addition to being fabulous grandparents, I love being able to ask them for advice on the handling the very same scenarios that they dealt with when I was a kid. They’re able to give me some much needed perspective when I’m caught up in the everyday details of raising my kids.
So for this Mother’s Day, I wanted to show my appreciation and gratitude, but I also wanted to get the kids involved. My daughters adore their “G”, as they call her, and were all about helping to create a memorable Mother’s Day gift.
After signing a card and wrapping a small gift, we set out to make a DIY fruit bouquet.

You’ve probably seen similar items at stores, but here’s the good news— they are SO easy to make at home. Save some money & create fun memories with the kids! Plus, who doesn’t love chocolate-dipped strawberries?!
First, you need a vase or bowl to start. Place a piece of styrofoam or green floral block (usually in the craft section) at the bottom, and you’re good to go!
We used white and milk chocolate, as well as sprinkles to make a simple & chic bouquet. To get the drizzles just right, poke a hole in a small sandwich baggie, fill with melted chocolate chips, and decorate!
Pop the skewers into the styrofoam, and cover with tissue paper.

We have dipped apples, cherries, blueberries, and melon. All have turned out very tasty! The possibilities are endless with the different fruit and chocolate combinations.

Author: Nisha Vedi Pawar
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12-14
Ingredients
- 2 cup chocolate chips; I used semi sweet
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil of choice; I used canola
- 12-14 strawberries
- 2 tablespoon crushed pistachios (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dried edible roses (optional)
Method
- Wash strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. Make sure there is no condensation on the berry prior to dipping, else the chocolate can “seize up”.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes, this helps the warm chocolate stick.
- Melt chocolate and oil in a double boiler over low heat until thoroughly melted or microwave for 45-60 seconds in 20 second increments, stirring in between to ensure the chocolate doesn’t overcook.
- Hold strawberries by leaves or pierce them with a toothpick or bamboo skewer and dip into chocolate. Lightly shake and lay on wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Top with desired garnishes and repeat for remaining strawberries.
- Let rest until chocolate hardens.
- Assemble bouquet

The strawberry bouquet is creative and edible arrangements would charge so much when you can make it at home for the fraction of the price.
Ingredients:
- 25 strawberries, room temperature (or depends on the size you’d want your bouquet)
- bright pink (or any color) candy melts
- sprinkles, for decoration (heart-shaped sprinkles or Valentines related)
- white chocolate melt, optional (for decoration)
Supplies:
- wooden skewers
- styrofoam
- tissue paper
- plastic wrap Straw
Directions:
First, melt the chocolate in the microwave and begin by dipping the tip of the skewer into the melted chocolate. Then, insert the stick into the top hard part of the strawberry so they are secure. Cover the whole strawberry with the chocolate and stick it into the styrofoam to dry.
