We have some that we've made collages with. My daughter loves to glue them and make things.
ReplyDeleteWe also have used dyed pasta for math counters when learning the math facts or graphing.
Separating them by types is a great idea, I'm not sure if we've done that before.
Your blog is *so cute* I had to do a post about it. :]
ReplyDeleteI do this with beans, but your pasta is so much prettier! I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe!
