Mixing some food colouring with spaghetti will create this small world play idea. Small world play is so important for children to express themselves imaginatively and for them to practice their storytelling skills. These skills help form a foundation of pre literacy skills. Mastering these skills sets children up for success for reading and writing in later years. The sensory element allows children wriggle, squeeze, pick up and pull apart the spaghetti with their hands, strengthens their fine motor skills at the same time!
