Letter Noodles

The next time you cook pasta for dinner, try giving your child a few noodles to make letters with. They are easier to work with when they are warm.  

You could also use noodles to make numbers, shapes, names, or animals.

Here is an alphabet wiki stix printable from Confessions of a Non-Domestic Housewife. You could put these pages in a page protector and place the noodles right over the letter.
