Gold Post Medal for All Time! 899 Posts Dry rice makes a great medium for kids to play with. You can make a mini sandbox filled with rice that they can play in with trucks or action figures. White rice isn't very exciting though. It is very easy to dye rice whatever colors you want using food coloring.
Approximate Time:
Supplies:
- 12 cups of rice
- 6 Ziploc bags
- hand sanitizer
- food coloring
- glass pan or large garbage bag
Instructions:
- Place 2 cups of rice into each bag.
- Add 5 pumps of hand sanitizer and 2-3 drops of food coloring.
- Zip the bag shut and shake the bag to coat the rice. Add additional food coloring to achieve the desired color. Repeat with each bag.
- Once you have finished coloring all of the bags, pour them into a large glass casserole pan or spread them out onto a large garbage bag. Allow the rice to completely dry, preferably overnight.
