Rice Find it Bottle

fter our success of our sand bottle, we decided to make another that we will keep in the car for long trips. This one we made with coloured rice. Tara added a cup of long grain rice, 2 tbs of white vinegar and a good amount of food colouring into a snap lock bag.

Close it up and start squishing the rice around to mix the colour
Give it a good shake to make sure all the rice is covered


Then spread the rice of on baking paper in the sun to dry for a day or if you have an impatient toddler you can cook it in a low temperature oven.


Mix the coloured rice and special treasures into your bottle and photocopy your find it card-i copied a few times and filed them just in case the card goes missing so i wouldn't have to pull the bottle apart.
Shake,turn and happy finding!

    Cool idea! Will have to think about how I might use this in my new preschool class.
