Just for Fun - Rainy Day Activities Part II

TIC-TAC-TOE Project

My son and I actually did this project on an unbearably hot day this summer.  I found it on www.kaboose.com, which is a TERRIFIC resource for fun and easy craft ideas.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Scissors

Glue

Cereal box

One piece of felt or construction paper

Food coloring

Spaghetti

Pinwheel pasta (O game pieces)

Farfalle Pasta (X game pieces)

1. Mix 2-3 drops of two different food coloring colors in two separate bowls, with ¼ cup water each.  Add Pinwheel pasta to one and Farfalle pasta to the other (about 6-10 piece of each.)  Let them soak for 20 minutes.
2. Cut the back of a cereal box (use the entire rectangle, then recycle the rest of the box.)  Glue a piece of felt or construction paper to the piece of cereal box.
3. Glue spaghetti to felt or construction paper, in the shape of a tic-tac-toe board.
4. Let Pinwheel and Farfalle dry on a paper towel for several hours after soaking is complete.

Good luck and have fun!

Email me photos of any of your projects and I’ll post them here!
