Lotsa pasta

Today the snow kept us house bound and the kids really flew through their school work, so we were looking for something to bust our pending boredom. We had already spent quite a while reading (with the whole afternoon yet ahead of us) and we had a neighbor boy over for a little bit as well, so I cooked up some expired fettuccine noodles and we went to work.

We used old file folders for the work surface. Most of the noodles stayed their natural color, some I tossed with a little food coloring and rubbing alcohol to dye them. The results: 45 minutes of fun and a cool art project.
