Posted by This was a great sensory play activity that involved creativity and imagination. It also worked on fine motor skills through scissor cutting and lacing. The colored pasta was first cooked and then colored with gel food coloring. The recipe is as follows:
6 oz of cooked spaghetti
1/2 Tbsp vinegar
Food color of your choice. I used gel food colors 12 set (amount will depend of how bright and dark your want the color to be)
Place all the above ingredients in a ziplock back and shake. Let stand for 2-3 hours.
