Serving Up Some Invertebrates for Lunch

So this week I tried to think of something that would be true to form for invertebrates. We needed something that could harden if left out but not have a backbone. Of course there are so many more that can be shown. I'm not an artist, but thankfully my art is covered up by the play do. :)

I just looked up ways to draw any specific creature and wha laaa, they have directions for everything. Don't you just love the internet? 

Just don't get stuck on the details, they all get covered up by the dough. 

Of course the best part was the kids coming up to me, asking me if I'd like a _____ for lunch. It was easy and simple for them to do on their own, while focusing on the fact that invertebrates are spineless. 

Ideas for more easy to create with play do: 

spiders, beetles, butterflies, lobsters, caterpillars, worms (segmented, round, and flat), crabs, clams, roaches, jellyfish, stinging cell animals, and so much more! 

I hope we inspired some yucky lunches.

Have a great Thursday!
