One day Briony...played with noodles



Due to Briony's food intolerances it's sometimes hard to find sensory food things that she can play with. As rice is only grain she can tolerate I had the idea to use rice noodles. One evening I made a large batch of rice noodles, split them into 3 bags and added some liquid watercolour (food colouring would also work) and a bit of vinegar. Briony enjoyed feeling the bags.


I then put them in a plastic container for her to play with. I put a shower curtain on the floor and shone a torch through the side of the container to add to the experience.



After a while they got very sticky and she did not enjoy them as much. So the next day I took the activity outside, added the noodles to a large container of water and she played with 'noodle soup'! The colours blended and the water turned blue. She loved fishing for the noodles with a pasta spoon and sieve. She also enjoyed pouring the mixture into a bun tin.
