Making Pasta Jungle Vines

This activity to make vines for a jungle theme, can be fiddly so it is more suitable for older children.

You will need:

• Green paint
• Pasta tubes
• String

Activity:

Paint the pasta tubes with green paint and leave to dry. Once dry thread one of the tubes on to the string and tie a knot so the pasta does not fall off, leaving some string at the end to hand it from the ceiling. Continue to thread more pasta onto the string until you get the desired length. Tie the last piece of pasta onto the string. Create Vines of varying lengths then hang them from the ceiling.
