Materials
Cooked spaghetti noodles
Food coloring paste (Wilton food color paste can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Michael’s)
Bowls or containers
Directions
Prepare the pasta noodles as directed on the box and then strain & rinse under cold water for several minutes. Coat the noodles with a touch of oil to prevent sticking. Divide the noodles into bowls (one bowl per desired color) and add several drops of food coloring or food coloring paste to each bowl. Mix well and allow to dry for ten to fifteen minutes. The drying helps prevent your children’s hands from getting stained from the wet food coloring. Place the noodles in a sensory bin or container, and invite your child to explore.
