Spaghetti Painting

We did an art project at John's mom's that was great. It's called Spaghetti Painting.  

Cook spaghetti according to package.  Drain it and then immediately put it in water dyed with food coloring.  Keep the spaghetti in the water until you're ready to use it.

 

Let the kids make pictures on white paper by using the spaghetti.

 Kids between the ages of 18 months and 10 had a lot of fun doing it.

We were a little nervous that the spaghetti would stain anything that it touched, but it didn't.  So there was easy clean-up too!  Any leftover spaghetti was put in a ziploc bag in case anyone wanted to do it again in a few days.

Give it a try!
