A little while ago, I made this sensory boxes and included bags of colored rice with them. Izzy absolutely loved the bags of rice so I decided to make the edible version and let Izzy have some free sensory play with it and he loved the rice even more outside of the bags. I again used these directions to make the rice. After it had dried, I put it in his sensory bin, added a spoon, and just let him have at it. I love how colorful the rice is which allowed us to discuss color a little bit. It is also really pretty when it is all mixed together. Izzy loved dumping out the bin then filling it back up to hear the sound of the rice hitting the plastic. He did that over and over again. After a while he just settled for spreading the rice all over the floor. The one issue with the activity is that when the rice got stuck to his feet and he tried to walk, the rice obviously made it uncomfortable so you might want to do this activity with clothes and/or socks on. Cost: Free

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
