Colored Rice For Kids

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked rice
• liquid food coloring
• 1 baking sheet
• ziploc bag
• paper towels

Recipe

• 1 place rice in a ziploc bag. i started with 1/2c rice when i only wanted to make one color. if you want to make several, i would split the rice up into several baggies. if you don't have any ziploc bags you can use any plastic container w/ a cover.
• 2 place several drops of food coloring on top of rice (as many as you need to get your desired color).
• 3 close either container or baggie, whichever you are using, and mix the rice w/ the food coloring.
• 4 finally, place rice on either a baking pan or on top of several paper towels and leave out for about an hour to dry. i chose this method as i didn't want to dry it in the oven.
• 5 now let your kids go crazy with it. we took an old cool aid tube and put rice in it to make a noise maker. we also drew pictures on colored paper with glue and then put the rice on it. note: glue sticks didn't hold the rice very well.
