Pasta Necklaces

At our house pasta is on the menu almost every Sunday night. It has been a family tradition since I was a little girl. We make a big pot of sauce every couple of weeks and then freeze the extra to use for the next few Sundays. I am still trying to perfect my Grandma's secret recipe - it just never seems to taste as good as hers no matter how many batches I make. I have a feeling there's a few ingredients that have been left off the official 'recipe.'

This weekend we decided to get creative with the pasta before we cooked it. We painted the dry pasta (Elliott and Will chose mini rigatoni and mini wagon wheels) on day one and then strung our colorful necklaces on day two. We had a lot of fun with this and the kids were excited to wear their creations around the neighborhood.

Simple supply list for this challenge: dry pasta, Crayola Washable paints, paint brushes, and twine.
