Materials
Cooked and cooled noodles
Finger paint
Paper
Paint shirt and paint mat
Directions
Put paint in a bowl or on a plate so noodles can easily be covered with paint. Dip a noodle in paint and then apply to paper to create painted picture. Try dipping the noodle in more than one color and watch how the paint mixes on the paper.
For even more fun, try using different shapes of noodles. Compare what type of design each noodle creates on the paper. If your preschooler is a bit timid with slimy textures, have a washcloth or paper towel available so they can paint a bit and easily wipe their hands clean.
