STEPS
1Place pasta in plastic bags.
Divide pasta into batches by placing them in ziplock bags or plastic bags.
2Add food coloring.
Add several drops of food coloring into a bag of pasta.
3Seal the bag.
Seal the bag properly.
4Shake the bag.
Shake the bag until the pasta is evenly-colored. If you think the hue is not strong enough, you can add a few more drops of food coloring and shake again.
5Make other colors of pasta.
Repeat the process for the remaining batches of pasta with other colors of food coloring.
Let the colored pasta absorb the pigment by leaving it inside the plastic bags for at least 30 minutes.

Spread out the colored pasta on paper to dry. It may take several hours to dry completely.
7Use the colored pasta.
Once dry, you can use the colored pasta for craft projects and various learning activities.
