Here is a simple way to dye pasta and a few creative ways to use it.
Start with the cheapest pasta and get some zip lock bags or plastic shopping bags.
I used food colouring, so I was only doing three colours- red, blue and green. ( I didn't dye all of the pasta, as the pasta is quite yellow already)
Put a few squirts of hand sanitiser in each bag along with some pasta. ( this helps the dye adhere to the pasta!!)
Place a few drops of food colouring in each bag.
Hold the bag closed and massage the contents until everything is mixed thoroughly and the pasta is evenly coated with the dye.
Spread out the pasta to dry on some newspaper.
Now the fun begins!!!!
You could use the dyed pasta for many craft, learning and play based activities. Here are a few......
