Colouring Rice


Guest

Recommended Posts

how odd! we get the children to do it. Put rice in a bowl, children choose colour and we add a drop (it doesn't take much so go carefully!) of food colouring. They mix it up then tip it onto a tray to spread out to dry. We like to do that so we get a mix of colours but obviously can just do one! We put it in the sand tray after. It grabs the colour unevenly so you get some really deeply dyed and others really pale - gorgeous

Have to admit, we have actually let the children put it straight into the sand tray without waiting for it to dry and we've never had a problem with it coming off on their hands... obviously I meant an empty sand tray not to mix rice in with sand :o

Never thought about putting it in a low oven. I've always got the children to do this kind of thing on a Friday afternoon and then just left it spread out on trays to dry over the weekend.

 

We'll be having some next week with a wok and chopsticks as part of our Chinese New Year celebrations.
