Go to an Arts and Crafts store or a Store with a lot of ethnic foods and buy as many different sizes and shapes of pastas as you can find. Your children will enjoy seeing how many different kinds are available. If you have a homemade pasta machine, make it with your children. They will love to see how pasta is made Make a large batch of playdough and divide it into parts. Make the different parts look and smell like the dough needed to make different cookies. For instance:
*Chocolate Chip - Mix cocoa powder into the playdough
*Ginger Bread -Mix ginger and cinnamon into the playdough
*Vanilla Wafers -Mix vanilla into the playdough. Prepare peanut butter cookies as directed on package. After they cool spread grape jelly on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie. This makes a great, relatively clean snack! In your dramatic play area provide pasta
