Use Your Noodle Playdough Play
Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities. You will need to decide what types of activities are safe for the children in your care.  Appropriate and reasonable caution should be used when providing art and sensory experiences for children.

Objectives:
  • Children will use colorful pasta shapes with playdough to encourage curiosity and creative play
CDA Competency Standard:  
II.5.1a

Materials:  
  • Uncooked pasta shapes (bowtie, corkscrew, tube shape, etc)
  • Food coloring
  • Vinegar
  • Ziplock bags
  • Playdough (we recommend the Basic Dough recipe)
Procedure: 
To dye the pasta:
  • Add desired amount of uncooked pasta to a ziplock bag along with about ¼ cup of vinegar and 10 drops of food coloring. Seal the bag and mix the vinegar mixture around with the pasta until thoroughly coated. Allow pasta to stay in the bag for approximately 5 minutes, turning halfway through. Empty contents of bag onto several layers of paper towels and allow to dry overnight. 

For the activity:
  • Place a mound of playdough in the middle of a partitioned tray and add noodles to the other partitions by color.
  • Invite children to play with materials and use the noodles to create a sculpture.
Assessment:  
  • Observe and record the child’s experience with the materials. Did the child use the materials in unexpected ways?
