Rainbow spaghetti

Children love messy play; there's no denying it! If they can get their hands on something squelchy and squidgy then they're happy. So this afternoon had to be one of those messy days.

The children loved playing with the cornflour gloop and many of them went home with white dust all over them! I also decided to make rainbow spaghetti:

 

After a bit of squealing at the texture, the children got really stuck in. I saw some counting and imaginative play as well as lots of communication! Next time I'm going to make loads and maybe put some numbers or letters in for even more learning opportunities.
