We were playing with friends the other day and she showed me this great new trick-coloring noodles. They make great stuff to move with construction equipment, and if Mommy gets her way, counting, spelling, sorting...:)
The process is really simple, but I must warn you ahead of time to have LOTS of food coloring.
It may not look like the color is getting onto the noodles, but after lots of shaking, set it aside for a while and the color will deepen.
You will need:
Dry Pasta (I used several different kinds, the boys like the bowties the best)
Food Coloring (LOTS!)
Rubbing Alcohol
Ziploc Bags (Not the cheap kind for this!)
Paper Towels
A Pan or Tray
You will do:
Put desired amount of pasta into a Ziploc Bag.
Add 1/8 cup of Rubbing Alcohol to bag for every 1/2 cup of pasta.
Add desired amount of food coloring.
Shake the bag around until pasta is colored evenly.
Once your pasta has been dyed to desired color, drain the bags in the sink and dump the pasta onto a paper towel covered pan or tray to dry. (Takes about 2 hours to dry)
What kid could resist playing with these?!?!
And I just think they're pretty:)
