Pasta Lions

Our Mystery of History lessons this week were on Nebuchadnezzar II, Daniel, and Aesop's Fables.  The three activities we did were: find a picture of the Ishtar Gate, make a pasta lion, and read some of Aesop's Fables.  The children drew whatever kind of view of a lion they wanted on a piece of construction paper.  Then they put glue where they wanted their pasta and decorated them with Macaroni and Angel Hair Noodles.  While they were making their lions, I read several of Aesop's Fables to them.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love using The Mystery of History?
