Colored rice bottles

 

 

Hello, all I wanted to share with you guys a awesome colored rice activity.  This project is a spin off of colored sand.

Fist thing you need to do is make the different colored rice!

Place white rice in baggies add a few drops of food coloring and then a few drops of hand sanitizer.

once the rice reaches the color that you want lay the rice to dry in a deep cooking dish lined with paper towel  allow to dry overnight.once dry grab whatever container you are going to fill the rice and a funnel. I used a cheap funnel from the dollar store and empty plastic water bottle containers.

next help you child fill the bottle with different color's layering as you go

  you can gently shake the bottle to get the rice to spread out

 

once you are done filling the bottles but a ring of hot glue on cap and seal.  These make great grandparent Christmas gifts

Happy Crafting
