This post is for my fellow mom friends. I wanted to share pictures of an activity Annabelle and I did recently that has provided hours and hours of fun. I wish I could take credit, but I found the idea on Pinterest. It seemed like such an easy and inexpensive project, and I knew that she would love making it and playing with it. A great rainy day project!
We started with a 10lb bag of rice from Publix (less than $5), a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some food coloring. In a metal mixing bowl, pour 2-3 TBs of alcohol over 3-4 cups of rice. Next, add about 10-15 drops of food coloring. If the color is not spreading well, add a little bit more alcohol.
Annabelle had a great time picking the colors, squeezing dye, and stirring the rice. Pour each color onto a paper plate covered in paper towels to dry.
Pour into a bin and add some scoops, spoons, chop sticks, measuring cups...whatever you have!

The only downside is the clean up of rice flung around the room by an overeager stirrer. However, she plays with it for so long each time we get it out that the sweeping is worth it! Enjoy!
