It’s…wait for it…coloured pasta! Yep, that’s the discovery. But what you can do with it afterwards is amazing.
First, let me tell you how you can dye pasta beads:
- Get a small container (tupperware)
- Pour 1 TBSP of rubbing alcohol (or vinegar)
- Add food colouring (the desired colour, or mix colours)
- Place the pasta beads in the box
- Close the lid and shake until the beads are coloured
You can use the beads to make bracelets and necklaces, to make shapes, to practice patterns or colour recognition with your kids, or as props for playdough. I’m sure there are lots of ideas on Pinterest, but these are the first that came to my mind.
I hope you’ll have fun with this little project. I can’t wait to buy some other shapes of pasta beads tomorrow.
