Sensory Tub With Colored Rice

Jem really enjoys her special sensory tubs. I added the rainbow rice and orzo we colored a few weeks ago, scooping spoons, egg holder, pom-poms, beads, tubes, pipe cleaners, big tweezers, and shells. I really have a good time putting these together, but the real master at this is Mari-Ann over at Counting Coconuts. They are really beautiful creations.

This magnifying glass was a big hit with Jem. She loved seeing all the colors pop out of her sensory tub.

On a side note, today I am featured on Just Like June. I am so excited so please stop by her lovely blog and check it out. She has many wonderful ideas for old-fashioned living in the modern world.

Sensory Play With Colored Rice

This is the first time I have made colored rice and orzo, but it was super easy and the girls can't wait to get their hands on it.
Making colored rice or orzo:
- add 3 drops of food coloring to rice.
- add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to rice.
- mix well in a plastic bag.

- allow to dry for a few hours before you store or play with it.

Pink and Green Mama has some fun ideas with rainbow rice here. 

Breakfast Fun.

We made these cute sunshine faces out of yogurt, raisins, and strawberries for breakfast. The girls were happy and ate it all. Enjoy your morning with your family.
Mama Jenn has this cute idea as well here.
