The night before - set out the croissants or bread (substitutes could be: brioche or potato bread) to dry enough to absorb the custard without getting soaked.

Prepare the tray with pretty dishes, silverware, napkin and a vase with flower.

Parent  and/or with children helping measure - make coffee or tea.

Pour the juice.

Pour syrup into small pitcher or small bowl

Add the parfait - separate recipe

Prepare the ingredients:

Clean, remove tops and slice the strawberries in half.

In a bowl with a whisk - beat the heavy cream add a tsp of sugar to sweeten.

Only remove the top of one strawberry per skewer to finish the kebab.

Set aside the strawberries and cream until the French toast is cooked.

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, and honey. Whip until fully combined. Set aside.

Slice (using butterknife)  the croissants slightly and fill with jelly or jam (this is a task the children can do)

Heat the griddle; when hot enough brush on melted butter where the battered croissants will be placed. 

Batter the croissants one at a time on both sides. You can allow them to sit for a few seconds to absorb the custard. 

Place the bread in the hot skillet (parental task or supervision required) cook about 3 minutes or more until each side is slightly browned. When you flip the croissant, press with the spatula gently - especially the rounded side of the croissant so that the whole will cook through.

Set aside on a plate.

Cut each croissant French toast in half.

Prepare the skewers (remember to take care with these - they have sharp ends)

Begin with one of the half of the strawberries with the uncut side facing out. Add one of the cut pieces of croissant French toast; add the other half of the strawberry facing the french toast. Repeat one more time. Finish with whole strawberry with smallest part pointing outward from the French toast.

Repeat with all skewers - 2 per adult; 1 per child

Plate the skewers adding a strawberry sliced for garnish with the whipped cream.
