Any summer barbecue will become a much more playful endeavor when the corn on the cob holders are cleverly made from animal toys.
Dinosaurs are a favorite but of course you can use any plastic animal toy, including horses and rhinos in order to create a fun and wild design that is completely customizable. Instructables user Mikeasaurus was inspired to come up with this concept when he saw the ceramic dinosaur cob holders being sold by Lana Filippone, coming out with his own easy tutorial that uses simple items you can buy locally.
Children who are fans of prehistoric creatures or the petting zoo will especially love these animal corn on the cob holders, making it a great way to get them to eat and enjoy at least one veggie.
