Provide the children with uncooked, short pasta such as rigatoni. You can color the pasta with food coloring first if desired. Also provide lengths of yarn. Tie one end of the yarn to one piece of pasta and show the children how to thread other pieces of pasta onto the yarn bracelet. Encourage them to talk about stringing other items. Ask, “How is this like when we string beads?” or “Remember when we made bird feeders with cereal? How is this the same?”
