Measure the oats and milk into a small saucepan.
Stir over the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the oats are cooked and the porridge has thickened. Spoon into a bowl.
To decorate, make the snowman’s body from 3 slices of banana. Slice half a strawberry to make the hat. Slice the blueberry in half and place on top of the hat to make the bobble. Use the chocolate pen to make the eyes and buttons. Make a small nose out of the apricot.
To make the Christmas tree, cut the kiwi slices into triangles and arrange on top of the porridge. Use the remaining blueberry half to make the tree base and decorate the tree with baubles created from pomegranate seeds.
