National Spaghetti Day Activity Page

It’s Spaghetti Day!

This unofficial holiday celebrates a dish that is served with all different kinds of sauces, meatballs, and parmesan cheese.  Grab a fork, feed your residents, and learn all about this wonderful pasta. Here are some things you can do to help plan your Spaghetti or Pasta Day!

Activities that need little to nothing!

Make some Spaghetti!  Have an Italian theme complete with the red and white tablecloths and dripped candles. Save some tomato cans and wash them out, let them hold utensils, napkins, Parmesan cheese, breadsticks, or fresh herbs.  Try making two or even three different types of sauces.  See which they like best.  Here are a few of our favorites.
