Our Reading Tree
My favorite part of our playroom area is a tall tree made from paper sacks and tissue. It's seasonal, and now decorated with cherry blossoms.

Fruit Scented Dyed Pasta
I created fruit scented, brightly colored pasta in a variety of shapes using Kool Aid! Toddlers love to explore the textures, smells and color, while preschoolers have fun sorting by shape and color. This is great for math as they grow and develop. I used the recipe below!
Kool-Aid Dyed Pasta

| Kool Aid Dyed Pasta |
1 cup of dried pasta
1 packet of Kool Aid
1 tbsp Rubbing Alcohol
Ziploc bags
Foil
Directions:
1. Mix the kool aid and alcohol by shaking it together in a ziploc bag, some flavors of Kool-Aid make a strange white paste within the "dye," you can easily pick it out with a fork and throw it away.
2. Add the pasta and shake it some more.
3. Leave the pasta in the dye overnight.
4. Lightly rinse the pasta with cool water.
5. Spread the pasta out over the foil to dry.
