A Sea Urchin!!
Peter had a school project: to come up with the perfect pet and then make it. His was of course a sea urchin, since they make the very best pets!! I think we did a fairly good job at making "Spike" look life like!! We painted toothpicks and a Styrofoam ball black. Poked the toothpicks in and found some fun pushpins for the eyes and PRESTO....a sea urchin.
We have many allergies in our family when it comes to the normal type of pet, but Spike is here to stay for a while!!
We also had to make a bed for him to go to school in. And of course we had to have a blanket to keep him warm. He has officially taken over my bread basket.....which is OK, I wasn't in love with it anyway and he fits just right!!!

this is my kind of pet! Very cute and creative!!
That is awesome!! Looks like it could also be a weapon, but hopefully the kids won't figure that out. I'll have to show this to my kiddos.
Very cute "pet." He is just not the cuddling kind of pet some like to have. ;)
