Messy level: Medium
Materials Needed
-
Dry white rice
-
Food coloring
-
Baking Sheet
-
Zipper bag
-
Empty plastic bottle (empty spice bottle works too)!
Let's Create!
-
Grab food coloring (however many colors you'd like) and that number of containers - we recommend ones with lids that shut tight.
-
Put rice in each of the containers.
-
Place a few drops of food coloring in each container (more food coloring = darker)
-
Securely place the lids on top and let your little one shake the containers around to spread the food coloring.
-
Finally - spread the rice out on a cookie sheet and let dry.
THEN:
-
Option 1: Place the rainbow rice in a see through container with a lid (old plastic spice containers work great) - tape it down if you thnk your child may have the fine motor skills to open it!
-
Let them shake it all around and make "music!"
-
Option 2: Place rainbow rice in a zipper bag (we recommend double-bagging) and make sure it is shut tight! Again your child can shake the bag, watch and feel the rice move!
