science and literacy with food theme

Be creative and resourceful with this idea starter for your next food theme, especially if it is Italian cuisine. I came across a Buitoni advertisement on thicker weight glossy paper in a magazine this month. The large photos of 6 food items caught my attention. The Italian words' first letters don't match their English equivalents so you will have to make adjustments for that. The photos are: linguine, clams, lemons, tomatoes (they used salad...don't know  why), herbs (should have used basil), and yellow bell peppers. The photo 'cards' are perforated so they can be easily separated. Attach each one to heavier weight cardstock and use for inspiration in the dramatic play kitchen zone or use them for a literacy game. Lots of possibilities.
