DIY KIDS CRAFTS: HOMEMADE COLORED NOODLES




Did you know you can make your own colored noodles with food coloring?!
Not to mention much cheaper then buying the fancy colored ones!

This is a very simple craft to keep the kiddos busy on they yucky winter days.  
Colored noodles are fun to make noodle jewelry, counting for math or fun art pictures & crafts!


WHAT YOU NEED:

  • Dry noodles of choice 
  • Liquid Food Coloring
  • Plastic Bags

WHAT TO DO:
  • Put the dry noodles into bags (the amount is up to you, put as many as you would like!)

  • Put drops of food coloring into the bags.  
  • The amount will depend on how many noodles you have in the bag.
  • You just need enough to fully coat the dry noodles.  

  • Seal bags and let set until all the food coloring has been absorbed
  • This only took about a half hour for the amount of noodles you see in the pictures.

  • This will look like a mushy mess, but don't worry they will turn out great!
  • Just let them set and soak up the color.
  • Once all the food coloring is absorbed, place all the noodles on wax or parchment to fully dry
  • Once dry you are ready to let your kids imaginations run wild with them!
