Sensory box with colored rice

Sensory activity with colored rice

This is so simple to do, and more than likely you already have everything you need!
-rice
-food coloring
-rubbing alcohol
-a mason jar, or plastic baggies

Add 2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol to your jar and add food coloring for desired color. Then 1 cup of rice, close and shake until well coated.

Lay flat on paper towel lined baking sheets to dry.


I dries pretty fast so you can start playing in no time! Add a few objects and you are good to go. You can do so many things with this activity. Use refrigerator magnets to learn letters, number, to spell their name.....get creative!

Don't sweat it if you do not have a mason jar laying around, plastic baggies work just as good. It is a little messier but it works. I don't see why you couldn't use a plastic container with a lid, you got to have a spare one of those lying around!
