1. Place celery stalk on cutting board with rounded side up.
2. With adult help, use a vegetable peeler to cut thin strips of celery for ribbon.
3. Wrap celery strips around the cream cheese to look like ribbon on a package.
4. Add celery leaves in the center to look like a fancy decoration.
5. Add bits of dried fruit or sprinkles to look like wrapping paper with a design.
6. Arrange cheese gift, crackers and veggies on a serving plate.
Sweet Surprises Version: Instead of veggies, serve cheese and crackers with a side of strawberry jam. You can also substitute small bagel halves or bagel chips for crackers.
