Pasta Sensory Play

I don't like using food for art or play, but at the moment Isabella will put everything in her mouth. Repeatedly. So it needs to be safe in that way. I bought the cheapest pasta I could find and let her explore.

Things she (hopefully) got from this:
- texture
- capacity (filling and emptying containers) She loved tipping the bowl over and I'm hoping she learnt that she shouldn't do this when she's eating her food!
- the sound it made on the tray which she really enjoyed too and
- properties of the shape such as rolling.

What I got from this: something different to entertain her with minimal mess and a few minutes to sit back and watch her! Although she still plays best when I play with her demonstrating what she can do with various things. Occasionally she will come up with her own ideas ;-)
And I got that I need to get Andre's camera out more to get better pictures!!
