Macaroni art is great fun for the kids. They love the process of dying the macaroni and then gluing them on their craft piece or stringing them for a necklace. And you can use any noodles to get different looks. Place the dyed noodles in a box or container to create a great sensory tub as well.
There are two different ways to dye the noodles depending on the ingredients that you have in your home or your smell preferences – vinegar versus rubbing alcohol.
Directions – Place a few macaroni noodles in a zip-top plastic bag. Add a few drops of vinegar or alcohol and 4-5 drops of food coloring. Mix to distribute the color. Open the top of the bag and let dry. Dye more macaroni in separate bags.
Using the Rainbow template, place a thin layer of glue on the paper. Add the colored macaroni to create a colorful macaroni rainbow.
The ABCJLM website contains several printables that would work with dyed noodles.
(Thank you, Alisha, for sharing this picture and idea with us.)
I really liked it. It is a beautiful rainbow. I will also try to make it like that.
