Rainbow Rice
By: Ashlee Steward
Are you looking to add a little colour to your sensory trays this summer? Try rainbow
rice!
You can make this using rice and neon paint (or the brightest colours you can find!).
It takes moments to make and lasts for ages as long as you put it back in the correct
storage containers for each class. It makes a wonderful addition to any sensory tray
and looks great on crafts too!
Simply tip the rice into giant zip locs, squeeze in a large dollop of each colour neon
paint, seal and distribute the paint evenly - very simple!
Just mix the colour through, tip it straight out onto a tray or baking sheet, then leave
it to dry. It won’t take long to dry in this heat (pop it outside
if you wish) and the colours will be very bright and cheerful.
You could tip it all into a large sensory tub, add some scoops,
plastic spoons, silicon cupcake cases and more. The children
will love it! If you wanted to extend the learning, you could
use it as a treasure hunt (hide lots of summer themed toys
inside).
