It was a cinch to prepare: cook spaghetti as per usual, divide into bowls, add some drops of food dye and cooking oil to each bowl (so it doesn't become one big solid-but-mushy-clump), and mix through.
We used a small laundry tub to hold our rainbow spaghetti, and added some letters to the mix (as The Imagination Tree did), and took it outside for some messy fun.
However.... as any parent knows, sometimes your child has a bad day. This was a bad day for Eden. I had thought that the activity would help soothe and occupy her, but it didn't. *Sigh*
Ah, well.

Ava enjoyed it though! She wasn't as interested in playing with the spaghetti as she was in eating it, but hey, whatever tickles!
I hope to try this activity again soon, but I'll pick my day more carefully! Thanks for reading! ~ L.
i think i'll try this with my son, if nothing else it will save me having to cook him lunch!
