Coloured Spaghetti

What you will need

• Par cooked spaghetti (slightly firm but not hard)
• Food colouring
• Gloves or snap lock bags

Instructions

1. After partially cooking your spaghetti, rinse under cool water to remove starch.
   Note: Do not miss this step, otherwise your spaghetti will be too sticky.
2. Divide spaghetti up into separate bowls, amount dependent on your desired colours. Use your gloves, so your hands do not get stained, and work a few drops of food colouring through all pieces of spaghetti. Alternatively place spaghetti in snap lock bags.
   Note: If your spaghetti is overcooked it will begin to go ‘smooshy’ during this step and is not ideal.
3. Allow the spaghetti to air dry by putting it onto a tray, until the colouring has been completely absorbed.
   Note: This step is important as it will prevent the food colouring from transferring onto your play area and children’s hands.

Put out for your children to play and twist into unique creations.
