Noodle Necklaces

We had a lesson in color mixing and color patterns today.  Dot and L worked together to add food coloring to some shallow dishes with water.  We found out what happens when you mix those primary colors...they thought that was so cool!

We threw in a bunch of dry noodles for just a couple minutes....no more than that 

as they will turn a little gooey.

 Scooped them out and set to dry.  Took about an hour.

 Before we started our necklaces, we made some color patterns with the noodles on the table.  It didn't matter to me if they made patterns on their necklaces, just seemed like a good teaching moment with all those great colors!  Anyway, a piece of yarn and a jumbo needle....

 ....we made these beautiful necklaces!  

Wait a minute....who are those girls????

 There, that's more like it!  ;-)
