Ingredients
- 1 kiwi

Instructions
Prep ingredients
- Slice the cheese
- Cut the kiwi. Make diagonal slices along the entire center-ish area of the kiwi. For this one we made it slightly under so that the halves were different sizes. Once the cuts meet, gently pull apart.
- Slice the tops off the strawberries, then cut in half down the center.
- Fold the pepperoni in half, then in half again. Stick through a toothpick. Add 4 slices each to two toothpicks.
- Cut the Airhead Extrremes into 4
- Put 8 Teddy grahams into the center of 8 Peachy Rings.
Assemble the board
- Towards the top right, arrange 5-6 strawberry halves to form a "flower" then add a grape in the center. Repeat in the middle left.
- Arrange the larger kiwi half in the top left corner, the other diagonally under it.
- Add the Goldfish to a very small bowl and set between the bottom kiwi and both strawberry flowers.
- Arrange the cheese in a block pattern diagonally from the Goldfish.
- Add a pepperoni skewer under the cheese, and the other next to the kiwis.
- Arrange the cupcakes directly under everything towards the bottom left. Add a few Goldfish on top of a couple. Add a Teddy Graham in Peachy Ring on top of the other two.
- Layer the Gummy Sharks on the left side, under the kiwi, next to the Goldfish bowl and above the strawberry flower.
- Arrange 4 Teddy Grahams in Peachy Rings under the cupcakes and under the cheese.
- Arrange 4 Airhead Extremes on the bottom left half, then top with a Teddy Graham.
- Pile the Swedish Fish on the bottom right.
- Arrange 2 Teddy Graham in Peachy Rings on top of the cheese.
- Arrange the rest of the Teddy grahams between the strawberry flower and the cheese.
- Arrange Gummy Sharks between the kiwi flowers, strawberry flowers and Goldfish Crackers.
- Arrange the rest of Goldfish in the top left corner.
- Arrange 2 Teddy Graham in Peachy Rings on top of the kiwi and shark.
- Stick a paper umbrella into the top kiwi, another into the furthest left cupcake and the last in the top middle cupcake.
