It rolled off the table and on to the floor And then my poor ***** (was meatball) rolled out of the door. It rolled in the garden and under a bush And now my poor ***** (was meatball) is nothing but mush. So next time you eat spaghetti All covered with ***** (was cheese) Protect your poor ***** (was meatball) In case of a sneeze. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ONE POSSIBLE SUGGESTION: On Top Of Spaghetti On top of spaghetti all covered with greens I lost my falafel When somebody sneezed.

They then are divided into individual bags to take home to cook and eat with their family. ======================================== Contact_FullName: Marissa Contact_Email: mstiles 10-2-00 This idea can be used in a number of areas. We used this idea to teach shapes and letters. Boil some long spaghetti noodles and let the children play with them in a small group. You can show them that the spaghetti will make different shapes. Let the children decide what shape they want the noodle to be in. (You can have shapes already cut out or traced on a paper so they can form the shape easily.) Let the noodles sit out in open air for a while. Surprise... you have shaped noodles!

Leave the pasta in the mixture until it is the desired brightness of color. Then drain the pasta and allow it to dry (on plates covered with paper towels). After the pasta dries, the children can string the rigatoni onto long pieces of yarn, and the teacher can tie the yarn in a knot, as the children finish, to make a necklace. Tip - Tape one end of the yarn to the table in front of the child to prevent the noodles from slipping off the end of the yarn as the child strings the pasta.

Give each child a hand full and have them dip the spaghetti into pie tins of paint, then place it onto construction paper. If they don't want to use their hands, have them use tongs. It looks really cool and it's okay if they mix the colors! Contact_FullName: Kris Contact_Email: klosh 5-18-00 Boil spaghetti noodles, and 1/4 cup of oil as directed on package. Allow pasta to cool, then place in large ziploc bag with liquid watercolor or food color. Mix around until all the pasta is colored. Put pasta in tubs for children to play with or practice using scissors. Give children white construction paper. Have child place some colored spaghetti on the paper, press down gently, then remove. This makes a beautiful picture, and is a good sensory activity for the children! Contact_FullName: Kathy Contact_Email: kat3668 3-28-00 A fun activity we love to do is to used cooked spaghetti to paint with. Put some in different colors of paint and encourage children to use the spaghetti to make designs on their paper! Lots of fun with cool results! Contact_FullName: Kerri Contact_Email: Delilah200 3-20-00 Pasta Snowflakes Quick tip before you start: The easiest way to paint the pasta white is to add a small amount of white paint and some uncooked pasta to a Ziploc baggie and shake. Draw a Medium sized circle on a piece of sturdy paper. This will be used as a guideline. The children glue the white pasta inside the circle and can even extend outside the circle if they wish. Stress that all snowflakes are different. Contact_FullName: Cat Contact_Email: starcat1 3-10-00 Spaghetti Collage Boil " cheap " spaghetti in water with food coloring added to it. Do not add oil. Cook the noodles until they are quite soft, the starchier the better. Drain, but don't rinse. The cooled spaghetti will stick to paper and will dry in funny shapes. Great sensory activity! 3-1-00 Daylene Buy different shapes of pasta. You can find cool shapes at Michaels Craft Store, Trader Joes, and sometimes other specialty shops. Most of these types of pasta are already colored. You can also buy small pasta shapes in the Mexican Food section of your store. Gamesa puts out several shapes such as stars, abc's, etc. If you want to color the plain pasta, you can do so by using a mixture of alcohol and food coloring (teacher does this). Let your pasta dry. Encourage the children to make a collage of the different pasta using glue and construction paper. ======================================== Contact_FullName: Linda Contact_Email: lkf_99grad 6-13-00 Place any size or shape pasta in a bowl or glass of water. Plan on measuring the water both before and after. Allow it to sit during the day and observe the changes later. What happened to the pasta? How much water is there now? Where did the water go? What will happen to the pasta is we leave it out of the water? Contact_FullName: Donna Contact_Email: Donna.Fayard 4-16-00 Get spaghetti portion measuring sticks to show kids how much is for a child, one person 2 people etc. Can cook up individual amounts. Contact_FullName: Brenda Contact_Email: bcustis 3-2-00 Have cooked spaghetti and uncooked spaghetti for the children to experiment with. Have them think about why, and how it is different. Use their five senses to explore all the differences and similarities. ======================================== Contact_FullName: Donna Contact_Email: Donna.Fayard 4-16-00 Cut up yarn the color of spaghetti and put on plate. Put #'s on each plate and have kids add that many brown pompoms (meatballs) on top. Contact_FullName: Brenda Contact_Email: bcustis 3-2-00 Make pattern cards out of poster board. Trace different types of pasta in a row on the board and let the children match the pasta to the tracings and continue the pattern beyond. Contact_FullName: Brenda Contact_Email: bcustis 3-1-00 Use all sorts of pasta. Color it different colors. Sort by color, shape, and size. ======================================== Contact_FullName: Melissa Contact_Email: hooks 10-16-00I read one of my favorite books, Tommie DePaola's " Strega Nona " to my Pre-K. It is a long book, but they sat still for it and they loved it. We painted with pasta and also did pattern cards with different kinds.Contact_FullName: Donna Contact_Email: Donna.Fayard 4-16-00Put spaghetti colored yarn in the sensory table with brown " wheatball " (falafel) pom poms and some plates and serving utensils.Contact_FullName: Brenda Contact_Email: bcustis Date: 3-2-00Let the children do different things with alphabet pasta. Write their names, sort different letters, make a collage, etc...Contact_FullName: Brenda Contact_Email: bcustis 3-1-00Take a small amount of dough or modeling clay and mold it into an egg shape. Break some pieces of spaghetti, and stick them in the dough so that they look like porcupine quills. Use 4 pieces of ziti in the bottom for legs. Use cloves or peppercorns for a nose and eyes. Let dry and you have a cute little porcupine. I just saw this idea in your big back yard and thought it was really cute.Contact_FullName: kari Contact_Email: kariwascrankyo 3-1-00Fill your sensory table with plenty of mixed pasta.
