Rainbow Rice Sensory Activity

What you’ll need for coloured rice:

• White Rice (the cheap brands work fine) 1 cup

• White Vinegar 1/2 tsp

• Food Colouring or you can choose to use (icing gels) as much as you think you need to get the colour you would like.

• Plastic container with a lid (Ziplock bags or an old yogurt container or margrine container with a lid)

• A place and something to dry the rice on ( baking sheet, finished with meat tray, pie plate)

• **** A must to remember that when using any containers that have previously been used make sure the are clean if possible dishwasher to sterilise to make sure no nasties are about in our play time.

How to dye Rice

Add 1/2 tsp of Vinegar & a few drops of food colouring to the rice.

Zip the bag tightly shut & mix until all of the colour is combined evenly. Pour your coloured rice out onto a tray lined with Baking Paper and let it dry for an hour or two…

Now bring on the fun!
