Colored Rice

I found the idea of colored rice on pinterest (I'm loving this site). There were several links, but I liked this one because it used smaller portions (http://mama-jenn.blogspot.com/2010/04/colored-rice-tutorial.html). Super easy and simple. I picked up two 16 qt buckets at Target to put the rice in (and some measuring spoons at the Dollar Tree). They all had so much fun. H has asked constantly to play with it! I think I know what we'll be doing tomorrow!

H playing - this was before we went and bought the tubs

He was telling me we needed one more scoop before picking up the funnel

Pretty colors

J and G playing (the 2 batches were put in separate tubs for ease of  play)

J and G - the sand toy was $2.50 at Target

Each scooping some up

They like to turn the cups on the sand toy by hand

A sheet underneath is a must!
