The instructions on the coconut said to drain the fluid with an ice pick (who has one of those???? not us!) and then to open it with a hammer. My coteacher (who planned most of this unit) is pretty fearless with a hammer. <br /><br />Here's a well-written, hammer-free tutorial I found on pinterest:<br />http://www.healthfulpursuit.com/2011/07/opening-a-coconut/<br /><br />And I'd highly recommend chicka chicka boom boom. It's one of my favorite rhyming toddler books, and definitely my favorite alphabet book. It's still fun after dozens of readings.Summer_Dahliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07468222569303870371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710352821337311882.post-43896947660840484002012-03-24T21:56:34.569-07:002012-03-24T21:56:34.569-07:00How did you open the coconut?
