Cut the octopus out with scissors. Repeat if you want to make more than one octopus. Rocky Octopus Home Economics Idea from: LetteroftheWeek Group Octopus Hotdogs! This is kind of hard for preschoolers to do on their own but with a little help and guidance, they can do it...especially the first few cuts... Give your child a plastic knife and show her/him how to slice through the hot dog starting at one end and stoping about an inch and a half from the other end...it will look kind of like one of those old time clothes pins when you spread the two pieces apart. Cut each of those pieces into two by making another slice the same way making sure you always stop before getting to the other end. Cut those four into eight and you now have the legs of the octopus. The inch and a half that was not cut is the head and you can make a couple of slits in the hot dog to represent eyes and another to make a smile. Boil the hot dog in water until the legs curl and the smile opens a bit. This octopus will sit up on a plate and smile!
