Construction Grade Pasta!

[judydawn]

Is that like a white board - would want to be better than my white board, it's terrible to clean 

[dede]

Here's a google definition Judy. It's kind of a white board but with computer images.

SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard to help improve learning outcomes. Combining the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard lets you deliver dynamic lessons, write notes in digital ink, and save your work – all with the simple touch of a finger.

Oh yes, I want one of those for my fridge instead of the one I have.  I'd love to see one in action.

Judy they are great. My son had one in his kindy class last year.  Thy are great interactive tools for classrooms.

[judydawn]

Meagan, I have been to both a kindy class and junior school class visiting my GD on Grandparents' Day but it is so full on that I didn't think to look - I will pay special attention on my next visit.

He/we made a batch today with 200g flour an egg, 25mls of PVA and about 20 mls of water cut shapes and baked in the oven for 2  hours at 100 degress ( left another piece in for another hour ) both very hard the extra time made little difference, no cracking so should be great for bridge construction. I am sure the teacher means work out a design with commercial pasta but there seems to be nothing to say you can't design your own pasta? The requirements are pasta, PVA and glue gun so I don't suppose it matters if the PVA is IN the pasta!
Thanks for your help without the comments from Fundj and Meganjane I would probably still be mixing test batches! Amazing what you learn when you put it "out there " to you ladies and gents!

He now has to draw his design on the computer before he can make the actual pieces.

Would love a picture of the finished product. Sounds like your getting as much fun out of this as your DS.

Yes please.

[meganjane]

So glad it worked out.

And, here's the spelling for the plural of roof: The plural of roof is roofs or rooves. "Rooves" is an older form of the word and rarely used these days.

I must be old fashioned.

Thanks MJ. When I typed rooves I looked at it and felt it was wrong. Then I remembered it was one of those 'change the 'f' to v' and add es. Like hooves. Thank goodness I was right. I don't like spelling errors. I feel bad enough when I make typos.

Does it come off OK fundj? Do you find that certain brands of white board markers are better for the fridge?

[dede]

Megan I read somewhere that you can use some clear contact and put a square on your fridge/freezer and use that to write on with white board markers. If it starts to get a bit tacky then throw it away and put a new piece on.

[fundj&e]

i have done that 2 dede when i hade white kitchen tiles

yes i do find that MJ. at the momet i am using a pentel brand one which comes off easy. if u find it will not come off try some pure alcohol, i know you have some good ****
