    Default Christmas shaped pasta

    Just thought I'd pop on to let you know Lidl's are selling some great coloured pasta in Chistmas shapes for 99p a bag that are great for craft or sensory bins

    I also picked up a christmas shapes silicone baking pan for 2.99 and some lovely cardboard colour in play houses for 7.99 each as gifts for my two 2yr olds

    Gotta love Lidls

    p.s- they also have their kids waterproofs in stock this week so if you need some get yourself down there as they are FAB!

    Just a little warning when using uncooked pasta for craft and sensory stuff.

    This was a bit of a freak accident but it happened none the less.

    An ex minded family of mine has a 2yr old who had made a pasta necklace out of penne pasta at the toddler group she had been to with mum. When she got home she fell up a step and the necklace slipped up and the pasta pierced her face drawing blood and it has left a permanent scar.

    nasty - I suppose when it is dry, it can be really sharp
