Instructions:
- Offer your child a piece of cooked penne and invite them to try blowing through it.
- Demonstrate how to blow gently through the pasta like a train whistle.
- Let them experiment—blowing air, pretending to be a train, or making sounds.
Tips:
- Great for building oral motor strength and breath control.
- Keep it playful—pretend you’re the train, use sound effects, or blow along with music.
- If the soft/wet sensations of cooked penne is too challenging for your child, start with uncooked penne.
- Have other pieces of pasta if the penne falls apart while playing.
