E.T. the extraterrestrial is sure to approve of this kind of frog dissection. Knitting in Biology Frog by Crafty Hedgehog, $95. Available at CraftyHedgehog.etsy.com

Not only for display and study, the Knitting in Biology Frog can be unpinned from his frame, “so you can take him out and cuddle him if you wish,” says Emily Stoneking of CraftyHedgehog.  How often one wants to cuddle a sliced open frog I’m unsure, but at least the option’s there.

The frog sits in an 8 x 10 frame.  He is hand knit out of a silk/wool blend while his entrails are needle felted out of 100% wool.

Seeing this sparks in me the desire to see an avant-garde, macabre exhibition of Kermit the Frog along with other muppets splayed open like science experiments.  Too far?  Sorry, I’ve been watching movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Midnight Meat Train as of late.

He even has little Xs for eyes to signify his eternal sacrifice for your education.
