Banana Octopus

Banana Octopus

Banana

Toothpick

2 black-eyed peas

Cut the stem off the banana. Then peel it halfway down from the top, in 4 sections.

Discard (or eat) the top half of the banana. Leave the bottom half of the banana in its peel.

To create 8 arms, use a knife to split each of the 4 sections of the peel in half.

For the face, choose the flattest side of the banana. Make the eyes by pushing a toothpick into the skin and wiggling it around to create 2 hold, then insert a black-eyed pea into each hole.
