I've been wanting to try this for a while. My daughter isnt' yet 3 so I wasn't sure if she would like it. I made one cut on the first side but two on the 2nd side. (it was a larger sized dog). That way I got 6 legs which looked pretty realistic. She ate it all as well as the plain noodles that I served smothered in ketchup.

I read another review about a 19 yr old male who loved these. I do these and set them up on a bed of mac and cheese with little fish crackers. Dab dots for eyes and a line for the mouth. My kids think they are wonderful!! They chow it!

I seen this in a magazine, they made a bunch of them and placed them on spaghetti noodles that were cooked in green water to turn then green and they used mustard to draw a face on them SO CUTE, especially for the birthday party idea!
