Remove the core with a serrated knife.
Slice the 2/3 part which is the body and set in bowl in bed of strawberries.
Carve the remaining 1/3 into a head - making ears and a shaped face. Set up against the body.
Carve out a hole for the eyes and fill with raisins.
Use the pineapple to make fringes for the bowl and whiskers.
Use the grated apple for the tail - you can use fresh lemon to keep it white
Use a banana for the legs and nose.
