Colored Spaghetti
This is fun to do after you have studied all of the colors.  All you need is food coloring and spaghetti.  Cook it and you have colored spaghetti.

Salt Dough
4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups salt
1 1/2 cups water
Mix salt and flour together in a large bowl.
Add water gradually as you mix the ingredients with a spoon. Knead the dough, adding water if it is too crumbly or flour if it is too sticky. Dough will harden if left to air dry for several days or can be baked at 300 degrees for 30-40 min.
Snow Paint
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water
clean squeeze bottle
Mix the ingredients together and spoon the mixture into a squeeze bottle.
(An empty glue bottle works well.) Squeeze the mixture onto construction paper.
The paint will dry 3 dimensional and white. The recipe makes enough paint to fill a 7 5/8 ounce glue bottle.
