One of my favorite art projects for my three year old class...also one of my messiest :) I cook spaghetti (Use a regular size spaghetti, NOT angel hair...it will break) until it is a little bit al dente. Spray the spaghetti with a non stick cooking spray and put into a large ziplock bag. I do this the night before the art project, and refrigerate it so it's completely cooled off the next day. In front of the children I choose my color and pour a good amount of paint into my ziplock bag...close it *TIGHTLY!!* and shake. Obviously, since we were painting pumpkin cutouts, I chose orange. This is a really great tactile activity for children who aren't afraid to get a little messy. I did this during our "Sense of touch" week and they loved it. :)
