M&S do a teddy bear shaped pasta in their children's range (green packaging)

crispyduck · 18/08/2008 22:06

asda had them a while ago...not sure if they still do them

liath · 18/08/2008 22:06

What - you mean you don't make your own pasta then hand-craft it into little animal shapes??

What is wrong with mothers today?

Bubbaloo · 18/08/2008 22:09

Thanks-I'll try Asda's and M&S then.
Lol at Liath.

Ikea do moose-shaped pasta (sometimes)

Bubbaloo · 18/08/2008 22:16

Moose shaped pasta would be perfect but I'm not sure I don't relish the idea of making a trip to Ikea,just to buy pasta.Will definately have a look out for it,next time I'm there,though.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've bought some Annabel Karmel animal pasta shapes from Boots

JRocks · 18/08/2008 22:20

DS still having none of it

Waitrose has some Peter Rabbit rabbit shaped pasta....

They taste horrid though. And they break if not al dente. And then you cant see it was once Peter Rabbit. And if it is al dente, the taste of cardboard is even more prominent.

How about trying some really good and nice tasting pasta, some penne chopped in half, or some nice and funny fussili, make a point about the funny name, fuzzily, etc, or some tricolore? My children were particular to good oldfashioned macaroni when they were small. Especially with a little tiny knob of margarine (that melts) or with an egg chopped in? Or with grated cheese? Or with pesto and cooled??

Failing this, there is always Heinz spiderman pasta in tomato sauce.....

bubbaloo,is it just to get your dc to eat pasta?i do agree that shaped pasta tends to turn out like cardboard

Bubbaloo · 18/08/2008 22:32

That's interesting but I have a very fussy 3 year old and at the moment anything is worth a try.I'm probably clutching at straws but he loves animals,so here's hoping I can tempt him.

If he loves animals, you may be in for a shock if you try to offer him animal shaped pasta....

My son, then 2, was taken to the zoo.
Animal loving he was, AND a lover of roast chicken too!
-Until he saw a living Chicken, said "no dinner", Booooohhh!

sweetgrapes · 18/08/2008 22:36

Tesco have some too. It's a mix of different animals in green,red and regular pasta colour.

cheesesarnie · 18/08/2008 22:37

ooooh how about spinach leaves as dinosaur leaves.(i have 1 and half out of 3 children that are fussy!).

Bubbaloo · 18/08/2008 22:49

Just my luck,he'll probably be the same or want to play with the pasta instead.
Dinosaur leaves sound good in theory but wouldn't work in practice!

whats his favorite animal?
would he like to help cooking?

popmum · 18/08/2008 23:06

I second tesco ones, includes snakes, rhinos, elephants.

Bubbaloo · 18/08/2008 23:14

He likes all animals and doesn't really have a favourite.Yes he loves helping me cook and even likes helping me bake cakes,but he won't eat the food afterwards.Every mealtime really is a struggle as most foods he won't even try-he'll just scream and say he's not eating it.
