coloured rice!

Like lots of kids, my boys love craft. Luckily, so do I!! I was searching the net for some ideas on a few crafty things to do with the boys when I stumbled across coloured rice. What a great, fun, easy idea. And a hit!

Starting with some plain, white rice in a zip lock bag (white holds the colour better)

Food colouring

A few drops into the rice and SHAKE!

Different colours

I poured them into a baking dish on newspaper and put them outside to dry in the sun for around an hour

The boys decided to mix the colours together :)

Hours of fun! They loved it!
