03 - Place apple slices and kiwi rounds strategically to mimic the cockpit and windows of the spaceship.
04 - Scatter red grapes and blueberries along the fuselage for vibrant color and additional shapes.
05 - Use pretzel sticks and baby carrots below the fuselage to simulate rocket boosters and flames.
