That whole thing about not playing with your food? It doesn't apply at our house, especially at lunch time, and especially when it is the only way to get Jackson interested in his food. I usually make the original design and then he often modifies it as he eats. He'll change a smile to a frown when he eats an eye or nose because the face is sad. Sometimes he comes up with the creations all on his own. ...despite the pictures below, he really eats more than hot dogs. They are just easy to make things out of. And as Jackson says, "You are a good hot dogger, mom!" Quite the compliment!
