One of the most difficult tasks parents are tackling during the coronavirus lockdown is finding different ways to keep the kids entertained.
Let’s face it, for the younger members of the household every day must feel like the weekend and with that comes gentle explanations about why there are no trips to favourite family hangouts for fun and food - especially when the sun is shining.
But one creative mum has found a colourful way to brighten up any day, especially at meal times if you find yourself dishing up the same staple food and getting ‘that look’ from your little ones.
And it will cost you the price of a couple of bottles of food colouring - 79p in Asda and available in all the big supermarkets.
Robyn Green, a mum-of-four from New Zealand, shared her idea for making rainbow spaghetti on Facebook over the weekend, and it's since been shared over 100,000 times.
Manchester Evening News reports that Robyn shared a series of photos showing off her culinary creation, much to the delight of social media users across the globe.
Posting alongside pictures of her colourful pasta, Robyn wrote: "Rainbow spaghetti for dinner tonight, the kids were most impressed!"
Revealing how she made it, Robyn said: "I cooked the spaghetti as per normal cooking instructions.
Once it is cooked I divided it into separate bowls, along with the cooking water so they stayed hot, and added food colouring.
"Left them till they were the color I wanted, then rinsed them and served. Super easy!"
WIll you be giving it a go?
