Favorite Color Rice (sensory activity)

It's all about your little one this week, so why not explore her favorite color and dye some rice. It's easy! Add a tiny bit to rubbing alcohol into a baggie or a bowl with rice. Add in some food coloring and shake it or stir it up. Why is it beneficial and how can you expand on it? Check out Rice+Box=Sensory Fun! If you are working with more than 1 or 2 children, consider making colored rice for them in individual Zip-Loc bags.

For some added fun, you can even go ahead and dye the rice with your kiddo. The Zip-Loc bags are perfect for this. Instead of using a bowl and stirring the rice, put all of your ingredients together into a bag, close it up tight, and have your little one squish and squeeze away, to get it all mixed up. Have fun!
