~An old thick blanket like a comforter
~Large pieces of brown felt and tan felt
~Little pieces of red and yellow felt for ketchup and mustard
~Some cotton pillow filling
~Brown pants
~Face paint

Instructions:
First, you cut the comforter so that it fits around your child and ties in the back. Cut a hole in the front for your child's head and arms. Then cut the brown felt in the same shape as the comforter. Sew the felt onto the comforter.
Cut the red and yellow felt in the shape of ketchup and mustard and glue it on the front of the hot dog.
Then get the tan felt and measure it like a jacket. Cut arm holes in the sides. It should look like a bun.
Put your brown pants on, then the hotdog, then the bun and put the face paint on and you are a hot dog!

Other information to consider:
Watch out for driveways on hills. I was a hotdog for Halloween once and I was on a hilly driveway and fell and rolled down the driveway! It was so embarassing! So be careful!
