Grab some butcher paper, markers or crayons and your kiddo

Help your kiddo color their tracing while taking about body parts and how we use them

1. Combine 1 cup dry white rice with 1 teaspoon white vinegar and a few drops of food coloring in a large zip lock bag, seal the bag

2. Shake, shake, shake the bag until all the rice is colored. This can be a fun step to have older children help with

3. Lay it out on wax paper to dry for a few hours

4. Repeat steps 1-3 with any color you would like

5. Once all the rice is dry, dump it in a large bin with cups and scoops. Talk about how it feels, looks, smells and sounds while playing

6. Once you’re done playing, save the rice to play with again and again. Rainbow rice can last for years!

*Pro tip- before allowing children to play with the sensory bin set the boundaries. Tell children “rice stays in the bin” and “if the rice is outside the bin that tells me you are all done playing”. Make sure to follow through on these boundaries. If the children aren’t keeping the rice in the bin, take a break and reestablish the rules. Expect that some rice will spill, but don't let it get out of control. Keep an extra close eye on little ones who may try to eat the rice. You can do it mama!
