Rainbow Spaghetti For Children

Ever wonder how to create colored spaghetti like those Pinterest posts? Well…look no further! I admit, I have not always been successful recreating Pinterest creations. I go back to my roots in early childhood education and remind myself, it is the process not the product that is important. Even as adults we need to let go the feeling of failure and embrace the experience. These noodles are super easy though and sure to be a favorite with your children!

I used a bunch of boxes with only a little bit left in each box. I just can’t bring myself to throw them away. It wound up coming in handy! This was a large pot full that was sufficient for around 6 children.

Rinse, rinse, rinse!

I wore gloves for this part, but still wound up with colored hands.

Even after just an hour in the ziplock bags these noodles were vibrant!

Once rinsed, let the kids have at them! The dye did not stain the children’s hands. We used scissors to cut the noodles. The children added the Teddy Grahams from our previous activity. One child found them to be quite tasty! Everything used is food grade, so they are safe to eat. This was a favorite activity for toddlers and preschoolers.
