Food is not a toy unless used directly

Our kitchen has the basics. One of the most common ingredients includes pasta, its variations in soups, stews, and everything else. It can be small, snail, the other long and straight, tubular, laska, ruffled, we love it because it is lactate and suitable for a wide variety of foods.

However, a creative mom can see quite different possibilities in the dough as well. Of course, the ingredients for lunch and dinner, but anyone more adept can see beyond the kitchen. You can make dough a fun toy for your little ones. There may be more expensive and more expensive toys lined up in the nursery there, yet the babies can get bored. Not to mention families who can’t even afford to accumulate their child with valuable or lots of toys.

Beyond the nature of the material background, a few packs of dry pasta can be a pleasant pastime. You don't have to bother with them, pepes with them as they are, they are suitable for playing in dry form. Our awful big luck is that dry pasta has so many shapes and we haven’t even talked about colored pasta. Dough made with food coloring means little shade, but anyone who thinks in much more color than this should feel free to touch up dye and create much more colorful doughs. And with the colored pieces obtained in this way, the child can create to his liking, and one of the parents should not be surprised if he is also caught up in the desire to create. All you need is a white sheet of paper to paint and glue on.

We can’t pick flowers from the garden yet, but if we already want something colorful, let’s make a “flower” from the pasta with the kids. Mini pots are required for “planting,” use lentils or peas instead of potting soil. The stem of the flower will be given by a loop stick, and the petal of the flower will be given by the bow paste, which we can paint to our liking. The bow dough can also become a butterfly.

Even though as children we were treated to the fact that food is not a toy, and as adults we are also teaching our children this, we can still encourage them to play with the dough. The colored, hollow dough can be tied up and even the decoration of the home can be made, but even necklaces and bracelets can be made from them. The more types of pasta we have, the more imagination and creativity can soar. It can be used to make cars, other vehicles, wall decorations, decorations. If the dough is accompanied by even plasticine, we will not only help with cohesion, but even more imaginative creations can be made.
