Octo-Dogs
Your kiddos will just love these octopus shaped hot dogs!

4 frankfurters
Baked beans

Take frankfurter and place on cutting board.  Cut it in half lengthwise, beginning at the middle of the frankfurter. (If you look at the hot dog the long way, half will have cuts and the other half will remain whole.  The cut part will be the legs and the uncut part will be the head/body.)  Continue to cut each half in half again and repeat until you have 8 legs.  Sometimes with skinnier frankfurters I find it easier to just make six legs.  Repeat with all 4 frankfurters.

Place frankfurters in boiling water and cook until heated through and legs begin to curl up.  Serve Octo-Dogs on a bed of warmed baked beans.
