With a small leftover batch of spaghetti and a few of our printable shape mats, my toddler and preschooler worked on fine motor skills, shapes and color recognition, and had a bit of sensory play!

To set up this activity, warm up a batch of leftover spaghetti or make a small fresh batch.

Print and laminate our shape mats.
