COLORED NOODLES DIY

How to make colored spaghetti at home! 🤩

This sensory base is an all time favorite of ours. I found a way to save it so that it can be played with multiple times 😃.

I can’t tell you how hard it was to not do a rainbow spaghetti demonstration😅😂. Instead, I made a cute spring 🌼 activity for Nicky (4.6Y) to practice cutting “the grass” and Emma (18M) explore the flowers and texture of “the grass”. This is a really simple way to dye spaghetti 🌈 for a different sensory experience ❤️.

❣️I want to touch on the subject of food waste in sensory play. For me taste safe sensory play has always been about using food items intentionally and giving it alternative purpose. I used it to help my daughter with texture sensitivities as a baby/toddler and I continue to use it for the same reasons.❤️
