Materials
1 handful of cooked spaghetti (cooled)
Tempera paint
Paper plates for paint
1 piece of construction paper
newspaper to cover the work surface
Directions
Cover the table or work space with newspaper. Pour a small amount of tempera paint on to the paper plates – one color per plate. Drop a few spaghetti noodles onto each plate. Invite your preschooler to pick up a few pieces of spaghetti and place them on the construction paper. Encourage your child to explore with the spaghetti and the paint. Once your child has finished painting, allow the paint to dry, discard the spaghetti and paints.
