1 hour : Make It : Pasta Skeletons

This is a fun activity for the older kids.

First, show them different pictures of skeletons
Second, have plenty of dried pastas, with lot of variety (some pasta may even need to be cut in half, like the lasagna noodles)
Third, let their imaginations go.

I especially love that they used alphabet soup noodles to name their creations.
