I Told You I Can Teach ANYTHING With Pasta! And A Give-Away.

Already Bought My Pasta:

Here is a cool project I do every year.  This year, I bought colored pasta so I only have to paint the butterflies:

This is a page from our kindergarten memory book.

This year, I got smart & bought colored pasta:

One sale for $1.00 each, used a $1 off of 3 coupon = 67 cents per box!

I use pastina (you can find it at an Italian deli) for the butterfly eggs.  

I use the curly pasta for the caterpillar.  I usually paint it green, but this year I'm using the spinach pasta that comes in the box with 3 different types of pasta.

There is enough of each type of pasta in the bag for a class of 32.

I use the small shell pasta for the chrysalis.  I usually paint it brown, but this year I'm using the whole wheat pasta.

And I use the bow tie pasta for the butterfly.  I'll paint them orange and use White Out for the dots.

And there you have it:  The Lifecycle of the butterfly!

Don't they look cute on the bulletin board?

These are the pasta colors I have left.  

Do YOU have any ideas for me about how to use them?  Maybe for my plant or animal unit???
