What's For Lunch? Hot Dog Squid!

 

My kids got a kick out of these during lunch time!

My 4 year old said "These are the coolest hotdogs ever! They even taste better than regular hotdogs!" LOL Too cute! It was definitely work the extra couple of minutes to make them!

 

 

Starting a little more than halfway down the hotdog, cut it in half lengthwise.

Rotate the hotdog and cut again, cutting the bottom part of the hotdog into 2 parts.

Put the hotdogs in a pot of water and bring the water to a boil.

Prop your little squids onto a plate and serve. You can use ketchup or mustard to give the little guys eyes. Enjoy!

 

 

Under the Sea Felt Fish Tank

This was our summer project last year, we just set it up again and are planning to continue to add to  it this summer. We started out with a few felt fish that we made and added a new fish, plant, or sea animal each week. It was a family project, the kids picked out a fish, my husband or I made the fish out of felt and then we learned a little bit about the fish before we added it to out felt tank. So far, we have a shark, angel fish, parrot fish, octopus, clown fish, lobster, sting ray, blue crab, sea turtle, sea horse, whale, and some others. This was a fun and educational project, my kids are looking forward to adding to it again, as am I. This also goes well with our Under the Water tote that I am putting together for July.
