While we really don’t like wasting food – anything, no matter how hard we try, sometimes there’s an opened packet of pasta that’s still sitting in the back of the cupboard that everyone seems to forget about. Instead of throwing away pasta, why not put it to creative use?

We found a great way to use these spirals and create a lion, a sun, a sunflower, and a snake.

This is a great summer craft activity, especially when done at summer camp.
