Octopus Hot Dogs

We make this one every time the kids have a play date because they all think that it is so fun!

What You’ll Need

* Hot Dogs
* Mustard
* Green spinach noodles (optional)

Directions

Before you boil the hot dogs, cut the bottom 3/4 of the dog in half lengthwise, then cut those halves in half. Do this one more time until you have 8 "legs" at the bottom of your hot dog. The last cuts can get a little tricky... if you slice one off, don't worry, I've never had a kid count to make sure there are actually 8 legs.

Then you will need to boil the hot dogs which will cause the legs to curl, and you'll have an octopus.

When you take them out of the water, you can add mustard eyes and mouth which the kids think is so funny.

You can also serve these on a bed of spinach noodles that is the "seaweed."
