Colored Rice for Kids

1. 1

   Place rice in a ziploc bag.

2. 2

   I started with 1/2c rice when I only wanted to make one color.

3. 3

   If you want to make several, I would split the rice up into several baggies.

4. 4

   If you don't have any ziploc bags you can use any plastic container w/ a cover.

5. 5

   Place several drops of food coloring on top of rice (as many as you need to get your desired color).

6. 6

   Close either container or baggie, whichever you are using, and mix the rice w/ the food coloring.

7. 7

   Finally, place rice on either a baking pan or on top of several paper towels and leave out for about an hour to dry.

8. 8

   I chose this method as I didn't want to dry it in the oven.

9. 9

   Now let your kids go crazy with it.

10. 10

    We took an old cool aid tube and put rice in it to make a noise maker.

11. 11

    We also drew pictures on colored paper with glue and then put the rice on it.

12. 12

    Note: glue sticks didn't hold the rice very well.
