Step 1:

Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly.

Step 2:

Slice a small flat section off each grape and strawberry so they can sit flush together on the skewer.

Thread a banana slice onto the bottom of each skewer as a base.

Step 4:

Add a mandarin orange segment above the banana to create feet.

Step 5:

Push on a grape for the penguins body.
