Silver Post Medal for All Time! 254 Posts This colored pasta will keep your little one occupied. You can use them for sorting, play food, threading onto a string, and sensory play.
Supplies:
- ziplock bags
- vinegar
- food coloring
- pasta
Steps:
- For each color you would like to make add a teaspoon of vinegar and a few drops of food coloring to a ziplock bag.
- Then, add a cup of pasta.
- Seal the bag tightly and hand it over to your little one to shake and mix to coat the pasta with the color. Do this with each color.
- Lay the pasta out in one layer, making sure not to let the colors touch. Lay out in the sun to dry. If it isn't sunny, I would place it in front of a fan for a few hours. Note: If it is really hot in your area, it would be wise not to let them sit in the sun for too long. These were out in the sun all day and I think they may have become brittle because of this.
- Once completely dry let your little one have at it. I gave my son a stiff plastic string and he had a lot of fun making necklaces with the colored pasta.
