Haifa children had 15 pounds of rice

Today the children dyed 15 pounds of rice to make for our sensory table. We used 70% rubbing alcohol and food coloring to dye some of the rice neon purple, pink, green and blue and some regular food coloring to make green and blue. We tried to make silver rice using watercolor paint but our experiment didn't work . We found that watercolor paint will not make the rice change colors.

Next week the rice will be dry and ready to play with in the sensory table. The feeling of rice dropping through our hands can be very soothing.
