I had a thought last nigt when we were having dinner, Zander picked the pasta we had & whilst it took him forever to eat it, he enjoyed it The one he picked was called "soup mix" and they are tiny little stars, hearts, letters, circles, numbers etc. Zander was picking them up with his hands (they were plain for him) and was telling us what each shape was, I think he also enjoyed having something the same as us for dinner for once! Might be worth a try to see if you can get them?
