How to dye pasta?

1 capful of rubbing alcholol and start shaking!! Make sure the bags are tightly sealed.
Once the colors are evenly mixed, spread on a paper towel lined cookie sheet.

The kids can first explore the pasta first. May be a sensory activity can come before a kids art project or a craft.
Well as you can see, coloring pasta is very simple and once colored, they can be used in a variety of ways.
After coloring the pasta, we used a baker’s twine to thread the pasta. Good time to practice counting, skip counting or patterning with your kids.
