Are you ready for today’s puffer fishing trip?
We really like this fish. It’s a super silly fish, right?
When threatened, it will inflate and grow three times its size.
Puffer fish look like bubbles when inflated.
Some people even keep them as pets in aquariums.
The puffer fish is one of the most poisonous creatures in the world.
But the fish we will make today are completely harmless and cute.
And did you know they smile?
And when they smile, they show their teeth.
They only have four teeth. How funny!
Come on guys, let’s cook fish right away!

What you need:
- round hole punching machine
