We made Rainbow Rice
Step 1: Measure 1/2 Cup of White Long Grain Rice into a Sandwich Baggie
Step 2: Fill as many baggies as you desire for colors. We did a baggie for each color in the rainbow because we have been learning about Noah and the Ark.
Step 3: Add 6 drops of desired food color in each baggie. If you have to combine colors (ex: blue and red to get purple, split the color drops up to total 6 drops)
Step 4: Shake, massage and mix the bag of rice in with the food color
Step 5: Spread rice on a cookie sheet to dry
I mixed the colors, but you can keep them separated if you choose. I recommend if you choose to keep them separated, place each color on a plate to dry.
We discussed the various colors that were mixed together.
It's completely non-toxic. This is good especially if one certain little decides uncooked rice makes for a perfect snack.
Get creative to make sensory time fun.
Sit and show the children what they can do with their sensory item.
Rice on tile or linoleum floor becomes something similar to ice when you step on it.
Exercise caution.
My babies at church loved this activity too.
What a way to teach them to share and see the colors God gives us every day.
It's a wonderful way to teach about God's promise to Noah and the gift He gave to Noah through a rainbow.
