Magic Banana
Little yellow banana,
Wouldn't it be nice
If we opened you up and
You were already sliced?
Makes 1 magic banana
You'll need:
- 1 banana
- A little adult help
Equipment:
- A long sewing needle
- A spool of thread
- Thread the needle with a long piece of thread and double it.
- Bananas have ridges. Insert the needle into one ridge about 1 1/2 inches from the end. Slide the needle through to the next ridge. Pull the needle out.
- Insert the needle back into the hole it just came out of. Slide it through to the next ridge.
- Keep going until you've gone completely around and have come out of the first hole you punctured. What you've done, under the skin, is make a lasso around the banana.
- Holding one side of the thread firmly, pull the other side firmly. Under the skin the thread will slice through the banana.
- Start the next set of holes about 1 inch lower. Repeat the puncturing and threading until you've sliced the banana into at least 6 pieces.
- When you get to school, make sure to tell you're friends you have a magic banana and have them watch as you peel it. They'll be amazed that the banana comes already sliced!
