Rainbow Rice

I have seen lots of different sensory tub activities.  There are so many ways to make them: beans, rice, rocks, pasta.  A while back I saw a blog showing how to dye rice to make a rainbow rice sensory tub.  Decided to give it a try.
You just need rice, food coloring and rubbing alcohol or vinegar.

The instructions can be found here: My Little Alberta Family

The only thing I did different was I mixed each color in a plastic baggie so I didn't have to deal with mixing (and slopping it all over the counter)

Here is the rice before the drying process:

It was so colorful!  He loves playing with it.  He kept putting his feet in it and burying them.

And then he dumped it on the floor when I turned my back...Have since put in a different container and put him on a big sheet for easy cleanup.
