Rainbow spaghetti

I've seen about a million cute pictures of babies playing with rainbow spaghetti so I thought it best to give it a go before the Zebra gets too old.

It's really easy to make!

*Boil a big pan of spaghetti until cooked.
*Rinse under cold water and pop into a big plastic bowl.
*Mix together 4 tablespoons of hot water with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half a table spoon of Wilton food gel. 
*Pour the colour over the pasta and mix up really well.
*Stick it all in a Ziplock bag
 
Obviously, this needs to be repeated for each colour you want! Leave the bags overnight to let the colour really soak in.
Give each colour pasta a quick rinse in cold water before playing with, it makes it more playable! 
It's a weird texture and takes a bit of getting used too! 
But it does feel really good on feet!
And it's totally edible too :)
It takes quite a while to prep - I feel the Zebra is too old now to fully enjoy the sensory experience so it's not one we will do again. But it's a good one to remember in case our herd ever grows!
