How to Make Rainbow Rice

We colour rice for sensory play and for using as pretend cupcake sprinkles, it is very easy to make and looks so beautiful! This was a hit with my kids, we also added one drop of bubble gum essence for an extra fun.

To make coloured rice you need:

- rice 

- food colouring or tempera paint

- upcycled jam jars, zip seal freezer bags or something similar

Pour a bag of rice into a small jar or bag and add several drops of paint. Then put the lid on or zip the bag up and shake until they are all evenly coloured. You can add more paint if you wish to have a stronger colour. 

Repeat this as above for each colour.

After that, pour them out on separate tin foil or wax paper layered trays. Let them dry overnight.

Now you can fill your sensory bins with coloured rice for an inviting children's activity.

Have fun!
