We have used coloured rice for many activities during the years and i had some pink leftover in storage so with Valentines day this month we made a sensory play tub up with some hearts, pink silicone cupcake holders and some spoons and jugs to pour with. The special thing about this coloured rice was that i added a few drops of strawberry essence to the coloured rice and let dry on a baking tray overnight. It smelt wonderful! The smell of sweet strawberries wafted the room while Tara poured, filled,sprinkled and created
Even little Mason had a turn and enjoyed sprinkling the rice and making it fall. I would suggest doing this outdoors if your children are younger as the rice also makes lovely confetti! :)
Awesome idea! You have me thinking about the scents that I have and what I could add to the colored rice that my daughter loves so much...green (spearmint), yellow (lemon). Absolutely wonderful.
