Yum! Octopuses? Squids? Now I wonder what that would taste like! No worries, it’s not a real octopus or squid, but it sure is a lot of fun to make! Not only will the little chefs have fun preparing it, but I’m sure they’d have fun eating it as well! I myself enjoyed it like a little girl!
–
What you will need
- Hotdog (preferably balls or cocktail size)
- Spaghetti noodles (uncooked)
- Soup pan
- Stove
–
–
Step 1: Cut the hotdogs in half to make it look more like a squid’s or octopus’s head
–
Step 2: Give the kids the hotdog and let them push in the uncooked spaghetti noodles. This was not only a unique experience for the kids, but also a different way to teach them the much needed cognitive skills! You’d think it’s easy to push in the sticks, but it really isn’t!
There are two ways to do it, you can either stick 4 sticks all the way through or 4 sticks cut in half to make 8 and poke them through the bottom part only
–
Step 3: Cook the hotdog and spaghetti by boiling them
See how much food coloring there is? Look how red the water is!
–
Step 4: Wait to cool! Eat and have fun!
