A really simple activity that will last for months, and amazing for fine motor skills. You can play with it by itself or add toys. Ideally, play with this in the garden otherwise you might be hoovering up rice for a while!
You will need:
A bag of uncooked dry rice
Paint
Sealed Ziplock bag
What to do:
Add a small amount of rice to the Ziplock bag
Pour in a few drops of paint into the bag, then seal.
Shake the bag up to cover all the rice in paint.
Pour the rice onto a large plate so the rice can dry, this will take around 15—30 minutes depends on the amount of paint used.
Repeat for different colours.
Please note: As the rice is uncooked. It is unsafe to eat!
