Colored Rice for Kids

Recipe #395473 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

I was looking for something my daughter could do to keep busy when it was raining and we couldn't go outside to play.

SERVES 2 , 1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • liquid food coloring
  • 1 baking sheet
  • ziploc bags

optional

  • paper towels

Directions

  1. 1
    Place rice in a ziploc bag. I started with 1/2c rice when I only wanted to make one color. If you want to make several, I would split the rice up into several baggies. If you don't have any ziploc bags you can use any plastic container w/ a cover.
  2. 2
    Place several drops of food coloring on top of rice (as many as you need to get your desired color).
  3. 3
    Close either container or baggie, whichever you are using, and mix the rice w/ the food coloring.
  4. 4
    Finally, place rice on either a baking pan or on top of several paper towels and leave out for about an hour to dry. I chose this method as I didn't want to dry it in the oven.
  5. 5
    Now let your kids go crazy with it. We took an old cool aid tube and put rice in it to make a noise maker. We also drew pictures on colored paper with glue and then put the rice on it. Note: glue sticks didn't hold the rice very well.
