I was browsing kids craft blogs for an indoor activity to do with Moo and her little friend on a wet day and I came across this easy way to dye pasta for making crafts.
What you'll need
dried pasta in different shapes ones with holes are best for threading
string - we just used regular cotton kitchen string
hand sanitiser
food colouring
snaplock plastic bags
Method
1. Divide uncooked pasta into a snaplock bags.
2. Put a few squirts of hand sanitiser into the bag.
3. Put a few drops of food dye into the bag.
4. Seal bag and shake until dye has taken evenly. Moo loves doing this part.
5. Empty onto tray lined in baking paper, dry in the sun or if it's pouring with rain outside (like here) dry in oven at 100c for about 15 mins.
This also works for dyeing rice, so we'll be trying that soon I'm sure.
