Pasta Treasure Hunt

Materials

large bowl or other container
cooked pasta (spaghetti works best!)

Instructions:

Put the cooked pasta into the container. Make sure it's cooled!
Mix in the treasure. These could be plastic animals, candies in sealed wrappers, or closed and taped plastic Easter Eggs.

Some kids love sticking their hands in and digging through the cold pasta. Have them imagine what they are digging through (snake pit, intestines, ....)

Hints

Add a bit of oil to the pasta so it doesn't stick together as it cools.
For a child that doesn't like the gooey feel, have a pair of tongs on hand.
