Rainbow Rice

This activity was super easy & my son LOVES it!

I started off with food coloring, rice, ziploc baggies & hand sanitizer. I've heard of other recipes using rubbing alcohol but this was my choice.

Next, I put about a handful of rice into a ziploc baggie. Put a few drops of food coloring in it. I even mixed color to try to make other colors. Then a few drops of hand sanitizer. Closed the bag & shook it & kneaded it until they were all mixed together real good. I came out with twelve bags. My pink just turned red.

Then I spread them all out on a lid in front of a window to dry out. You can put them on a newspaper or something outside to dry if it isn't too windy out. Here is a picture of my monster patting them out.

I let them sit for a few hours then poured them into my tub. Here is a photo of them dry :)

To make it more fun, you can also put small objects or photos in there for them to hunt for! 
Have fun! :)
