Today was a good day. The clone was pretty good at listening and didn't really throw any fits, which in my book that is a triumph any day! Finally decided to begin getting rid of the boxes of cookie dough mix I bought several months ago and allowed Mikea to make the cookies "all by herself!" She was quite fond of this task, sneaking bites of cookie dough every time I turned my back. After I put the cookies in the oven I figured I would need something to keep her occupied while we had to wait that horrendous wait while the cookies baked. She decided she wanted to continue watching "The Mask" though and I ended up doing this project all by myself. I have found a couple of recipes to dye noodles, and from what I have found this one seems to be the best, but I will be trying out the rest! These noodles are a great idea for kids crafts! They can be used to create anything! Also, they are safe to eat. Which makes them a great idea for a fun meal! The use I see this batch of particular noodles getting is to be part of the many masterpieces of Mikea! I'll be sure to post some pictures of those. What do you plan on doing with them?
How to Dye Noodles
What you will need: Dry noodles (Try various shapes!)
White Vinegar (About 1 tsp for each bag)
Baggies (One for each color)
Food Coloring
Step 1: Add 1 tsp or less (less is more) of vinegar to a baggie of dry noodles
Step 2: Squeeze in four or five drops of coloring. Close bag and distribute color by rubbing.
Step 3: Lay out on plates to air dry. (I recommend paper plates for this step)
Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect! Enjoy!
