The dry pasta, styled like classic alphabetti spaghetti, will sell for £1.49 per 500g bag and aims to make mealtimes more fun and educational.
Food bosses behind the new product say it's a playful way for children to engage with learning at the dinner table.
The letter-shaped pasta encourages kids to form simple words and phrases, all while enjoying one of their favourite characters.
Jill Leigh, marketing manager at Icefresh, said: 'The NHS advises that in the first five years of your child's life, their brain develops faster than at any other time, and you should make the most of every moment by making eye contact, chatting and engaging with what they're interested in.
'Everyday moments, like meals, playing and having fun, help your child to learn new words, put sentences together and practise having conversations.
'We are delighted to be launching these Peppa Pig learning pasta shapes to bring fun, story adventures, and most of all, tasty pasta to family mealtimes.'
Sally Carnota from Hasbro, which owns the rights to Peppa Pig, added: 'Imagine the delight as children connect letter shapes and start to spell out their first words.
"It's a natural, engaging and imaginative way to foster early literacy.'
The new pasta joins a long line of Peppa-themed merchandise, from books to toys and even theme parks, all part of a billion-pound brand that shows no signs of slowing down.
Parents will be able to spot the colourful Peppa Pig-branded packaging in the pasta aisle, and it's expected to become a household favourite among families with young children.

It's another clever way to blend fun with learning – and a sure-fire way to keep kids entertained at the table, even for fussy eaters.
The launch also comes at a time of celebration in Peppa's world, as fans welcomed the birth of Mummy Pig's third baby on Good Morning Britain.
Viewers were shown the first snap of the newborn piglet, named Evie, and were told she will make her debut in a brand-new episode, Peppa Meets The Baby, airing May 30.
The new arrival has added even more excitement for fans, just as the pasta hits shelves.
And with Peppa and George reportedly over the moon about their new sibling, the whole piggy family is celebrating, both on screen and in the kitchen.

It's too hot to sleep so I made my own DIY air conditioner for just £1 & it cools down the whole room in seconds

However, a simple hack may be able to help, keeping you cool and refreshed throughout the night. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A simple and cost-effective step can help cool down your room in the summer heat (stock image) Credit: Getty Since most UK households don't have air conditioning, many resort to using fans or other gadgets in the warm weather. However, fans only help to cool down your body temperature, not the temperature of the room. If you want to elevate this and feeling an instant cooling effect, a simple step can help. The official TikTok account for Iceland Foods shared a handy hack for creating a DIY air conditioner in your home. "Is anyone else finding it impossible to sleep at night in this heat?" they asked. The Iceland Foods rep told TikTok users to try a "viral DIY air con hack" using thieir fans "for a much-needed gust of ice-cool air". They revealed that three simple steps can be taken to transform your fan into a "homemade air con". First, the home experts recommended placing a handful of ice cubes in a bowl. They then placed the bowl in front of their fan and turned it on. According to the TikTok video, this will help you to "stay cool" in the summer heat. And it won't cost you much, a 2kg bag of ice will set you back just £1 while the cost of running your fan overnight can be broken down with a simple step. Is this self-cooling can the future for Coke and beer? This trick works creating a localised cooling effect, similar to a personal air cooler. According to experts, ice absorbs heat from the surrounding air as it melts. This is why placing ice in front of a fan can help to lower the air temperature. The fan then helps to circulate the cooled air, ensuring that the cooling effect isn't limited to just the area directly around the ice. And while this hack have the same effect as an actual AC unit, it can provide a noticeable and refreshing breeze in the immediate area. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. It is also more cost-effective than running an air conditioning unit. However, it is also worth noting that this method can increase the humidity in your room. And a doctor has revealed the exact time to shower to keep cool in the hot weather. Plus, six methods for keeping cool in the hot summer conditions, including repurposing your hot water bottle. Or there are savvy steps you can take to keep your space cool without breaking the budget.

Have your say on whether Harry and Meghan are over-sharing

They're dancing, bike-riding, bedtime-story-reading - and sharing it all with the world. In their most personal video yet, Meghan and Harry give fans a heart-melting look at family life with Archie and Lilibet - but is it sweet transparency or a royal case of TMI? Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been letting us all in on a lot of their private life lately. The latest glimpse was a super heartfelt video on Instagram showing Harry being all kinds of adorable with Archie and Lilibet. The caption read: 'The best. Happy Father's Day to our favourite guy,' and the video was packed with clips of Harry laughing, dancing, reading bedtime stories, and even teaching the kids how to ride bikes. It's the most we've ever seen of Harry as a dad - and it feels like a bit of a turning point. Especially since the couple recently revamped their comms team. ‌ But as fascinating as these insights into their private life are, do you think Harry and Meghan have strayed a little too far into perhaps over-sharing? The latest post comes hot-on-the-heels of Meghan releasing a video from Princess Lilibet's 4th birthday bash at Disneyland just last week. The montage featured a clip of Archie, six, and Lili meeting Disney princess Elsa, from the film Frozen. Meghan wears a Minnie Mouse hat in some of the snaps featured in the video, while another image shows a two-tier Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake for Lili. ‌ But wait - there's more. Meghan also shared a video of herself twerking while very pregnant with Lilibet. The clip showed her in a black maternity dress, bump on full display, lifting her skirt, throwing her hands in the air, and getting very into it. Meghan captioned it with: 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' noting both kids were a week overdue and spicy food and acupuncture just weren't cutting it. What do YOU think? Are Harry and Meghan over-sharing? Take our poll below and share your thoughts in the comments section. If you can't see the poll, click here Whether you found it hilarious, relatable, or a bit odd, it definitely got people talking. Some fans loved seeing this personal, human moment - but others weren't so keen. Royal commentator Jennie Bond called it 'utterly bizarre' and says King Charles would've been 'horrified' by it. She said: "And women are perfectly entitled to do whatever they feel like to get through the waiting, and the pain. Giving birth is a serious business, and anything to lighten the mood is welcome. "However - to share those scenes with the world is utterly bizarre and, in my view, takes away all the magic of the moment. I cannot imagine why she chose to release it. Maybe show it one day to your nearest and dearest— but to anyone and everyone who wants to click on it?" It's definitely one of the more unconventional ways a royal has ever marked a birthday. So here's the question: are Harry and Meghan just trying to be open and honest about their lives - or are they oversharing a bit too much these days? What do you think? Is it a refreshing transparency fit for the 21st Century monarchy or is it straying into TMI territory? ‌ Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie isn't sure what to make of it. She previously told the Mirror: "I suppose Meghan is showing the children more on Instagram because she knows there is a public appetite for photos of them. But she's being very coy about allowing us to see what they really look like. "That's fair enough, if she wants to protect their privacy - though you could certainly argue that there's a very fine line between using them to publicise her Instagram account and her determination to keep their family life private. "With both children at school, she and Harry will obviously have a bit more time to pursue their various activities. Meghan seems to be ramping up her projects more and more, but I think they will both continue to put their family first - just like William and Catherine. And there's nothing wrong with that if you are lucky enough to be able to do so."
