B abruptly asked me for plastic baggies and straws yesterday so that he could make a "Visible Lobster". I have a Visible Woman from the 1980s that he loves. And they apparently make a "Visible Cow" which he desperately wants. Anyway, he likes anatomy and the idea of a visible or see-through body.

So he made this "Visible Lobster". Dh printed off a picture of lobster internal anatomy. And then B set to work with his Scotch Tape, which I need to buy in bulk at this point. Btw, if you make superhero costumes out of paper and Scotch Tape them to your hair and face, they really hurt when they come off.

Anyway, here it is. It's was really hard to take a picture of, because of the reflective nature of the sandwich baggies. But he used 4 sandwich baggies and cut them into various pieces, then taped them together. The actual body is like a long loop; it's connected on the ends to create a front and back but the sides are open. He's holding it by the tail in this picture. You can see the straw legs on either side. And then there are straw antennae on its head. The yellow zip-loc on the head is its mouth. The small green circle is the heart. The blue strip is a long vein. The squiggly red strip is a blood vessel. The purple and yellow object represents the intestines. And there you go, a Visible Lobster.
