Spaghetti worms

Sensory activities are important for children, giving them endless ways to develop and learn. Today Alex and Max were honing their imagination with coloured spaghetti worms.
If you don’t know how to dye spaghetti, here is how I did it. After rinsing cooked spaghetti in cold water, I have transferred the pasta in even portions to the prepared zip-top-bags and sealed. There was one bag for each colour and inside of each bag there was about 10 drops of food colouring and a bit of water. After I’ve finished carefully shaking bags to combine the pasta and food colouring, I let each bag sit for a few minutes to soak up the colour
