Sensational Sensory Box Idea

 

In this frigid Canadian cold weather, it is impossible to get the kids outside.

I have this Sensational Sensory Box Idea to keep the kids busy for hours. No need for an expensive sensory table, I use a shallow Rubbermaid storage box.

 

RAINBOW RICE

 

 

With large bag of uncooked white rice, divide rice in to large zip-lock bags  (depending on how many colours you decide to make)

Mix a few tablespoons of cold water to the white rice mix around to make sure all pieces are covered, then add a few drops of food colouring (add more food colouring for darker colours) Let the rice soak in water until it is the desired color. Make several different colors of rice. Allow to air dry on a cookie sheet, and then mix them together for a pretty rainbow effect. And let the fun sensory play begin!

 

 

 

My kids LOVE this Rainbow rice it is so easy to make and non toxic, so you don’t need to worry about the little ones who put thing in their mouths.

 

Just add scoops and cups, dinosaurs or toy cars……….

 

Cleanup is a breeze, just sweep or vacuum off floor.
