It's super easy to make. Get a 5 lb. bag of rice. Divide it into 6 Ziplock bags.
Add food coloring to each bag (I put 10-20 drops per bag). For the secondary colors I followed the mixing instructions on the food coloring box for white icing.
Now add a splash of rubbing alcohol.
Shake it up! Seal the bag and shake it until all the rice is covered. Add more food coloring/alcohol if needed.
Let it sit. I let mine sit for 2 hours.
Spread each color onto a cookie sheet to let it dry. If you have multiple cookie sheets you can do them simultaneously otherwise just do one at a time. Be sure to shake it up every once in a while to make sure it all gets dry.
Once it's dry it's ready to go. You can mix them together or use separate colors.
This is great to use in I Spy jars or sensory bins. If your child has great fine motor skills have them separate the colors into a muffin tin using tweezers.
