Hello everyone,
I hope all of the big children are settled in school and you are getting in to a new routine. Welcome to anyone with us for the first time, we are sorry that we can’t meet in person, but do get in touch with us to tell us who you are and we would love to see photos of your pasta makes.
We are excited about our new activity bags which will be available on 3rd and 4th October all the details are here
You do need to sign up for a bag by 25th September.

What shall we make?

Bag of pasta and a shoelace

PASTA THREADING.

You will need: 

Tubular Pasta (penne, macaroni etc)

String/shoelace

Necklace made of pasta and string

Start by threading one piece of pasta on to the string and try a knot around it to hold it in place. This will anchor all the other pasta pieces in place.

Thread your pasta on to the string, you can mix up the types of pasta you use to make a pattern.

Enjoy making pasta jewellery, tiaras, snakes, caterpillars…!

Swap the pasta for Cherios cereal to create a bird feeder for your garden!

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again.
