Preschools and schools
We offer pasta making classes for 3 yo kids and older in your school. We provide all the ingredients and tools to teach the students how to make pasta from scratch.
Making pasta with kids is a great way to educate them about good nutrition and fresh ingredients. Expand their horizons by getting students in the kitchen through a healthy pasta making club! It’s a great sensory activity to help them feel the rough texture of the flour and show them how it turns into a soft dough after adding eggs or water. And what about the funniest part? They will shape it in bow-tie farfalle, or fettuccine.
Egg-free option available.
Our program includes a foundation of learning that enhances what kids learn in the scholastic environment:
- Organization skills
- Safety
- Nutrition
- Working as a team
- Cooperation
- Taking turns
- Math
Basic reading and math skills are used daily, as students follow recipes, learn to measure, and double or half the amounts of ingredients.
KNEADING WITH KIDS: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
Basic math, language skills and self-confidence.
As kids learn to make pasta from scratch, they also gain new language and math skills. Basic math skills (“How many eggs do we need?”) and sequencing skills (“What is first … next … last?”) give way to fractions (“Is this ¾ of a cup?”) as your student gains confidence in the kitchen.
A kitchen is a learning lab for children that can involve all of their senses. While kneading, mixing, squeezing, smelling, cutting, and feeling foods they have fun and learn without being aware of it.
Price per kid $30.00 (ingredients, tools, and final clean up included)
