Slimy Pasta

Published: Jul 16, 2012 by admin · This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content

H and I were at a loose end last week until I spotted some lovely spaghetti play posts on The Imagination Tree. I’ve been trying to teach H colours, so we chose bright red and yellow. I just cooked the spaghetti in water and food colouring, drained it and added a bit of vegetable oil to make it slimly.

H loved it. We made spaghetti cakes.


We added some DUPLO people,

and even let Buzz have a play.

H was intrigued by the texture and how slippy it was, although she did keep rushing off to wash her hands!

    What a great idea to use pasta like that. I’m going to have to do this with Ben soon. Thanks for the idea! x

    I tried spaghetti play with Goblin and he just wasn’t interested, which was odd because i thought the spaghetti felt awesome. I’m glad H got stuck in

    This def has to go on our ‘to do’list (think The Fairy may have the same ideas re hand washing as H – she always wants to touch then complains her hands are sticky!)

    My kids love playing with spaghetti too. I’ve never added oil though, and they would probably really like that. : )

    J hated spaghetti play but T loves it – she will happily sit there for hours with a box of spaghetti putting it in and taking it out again.
