Strega Nona

Why we liked this book:  I really loved the pictures in this book!  They were something different from the usual picture books we read.  The story is really fun and interesting too!

 Activity:  We did macaroni art to go with the "magic pasta" theme.  We had already done a spaghetti dinner so I thought it would be fun to do something new.  The kids had a lot of fun with this project!  All we did was I had the kids draw their picture on a piece of paper first with a pencil (make sure they draw it BIG).  Then they put glue on top of the pencil and glue the pasta all around.  I bought a colorful bag of pasta that had different shapes in it but you can use whatever!
