Spot the Difference
See if you can spot the differences between the two pictures, then colour them in!

Colour in the San Remo Car
Marco San Remo has made a car using pasta shapes. Can you spot the shapes?

San Remo Word Hunt
Find hidden Pasta Shape names and reveal letters which hold the secret meaning to the Italian word "Farfalline".

San Remo Colouring in Drawing
Follow the spaghetti path to find out who is John and who is Joe. Then have fun colouring in the picture.

Make a Pasta Butterfly Garden
Paint Bowtie, Farfalline or Fiocchi pasta in different colours, to create a garden of colourful little butterflies. Using a craft glue stick, attach beads, pearls, stars into the grooves of the pasta. Decorate a piece of card to look like a pretty garden and stick the pasta butterflies on.

Make a Pasta Photo Frame.
Spray Macaroni pasta with gold craft spray then stick them onto an old photo frame (also sprayed in gold), making sure the pasta pieces are placed close together. You can even alternate the design by by making rows of one shape then following with another.

Make Pasta Jewellery
Spray Bowties and Orrechiette pasta using gold craft spray. Loop cotton thread through the middle of the holes in the Orrechiette and loop the thread around the middle of the bowties. Make decorations for your Christmas tree this way as well.

Create a Starry Night Collage
Separate three small handfuls of Soup Pasta (which has Stars, Hearts and Hexagon pasta in the one pack). Place each group onto newspaper and spray each with a different colour – like silver, gold and red. When dried, shake a little then spray again to cover the underside. When dry, mix all the pasta pieces together. Paint a thick A4 sheet in dark blue or black (or use coloured card). Place glue stick streaks on the card and cover with the pasta shapes. For an extra special effect, use glitter spray.
