Making truly taste-safe 'painted' pasta - with no paint! 💚💚💚
I love using paint to colour pasta at home, but I don't like the idea of my youngest putting it in his mouth, no matter how non-toxic it is.
I really wanted to use dried pasta for our Autumn messy play, but also wanted it to be taste-safe.. so I created a way to do this 💚
And it's really simple.. replace paint with icing whitener and food colouring. The rest of the method is exactly the same as painting pasta 💚
This can be used for any sensory filler that you would paint, including dired chickpeas and rice 💚
