I am embarrassed to admit that I have been teaching preschool for 5 months and this was my first time coloring rice (I haven't done pasta yet either). For some reason it intimidated me. But it was so so easy. Just food coloring and vinegar. It took 2 seconds. And just over night to dry.
I bought some plastic hollow ornaments, but I wasn't sure exactly what we were going to do with them. Would they be for a large group art activity? Would they take them home? Would it just be for an art center, open ended creativity? Who knew?
In the end I decided to add them to our sensory play - to fill, dump, and refill. I added the tops in another container, so they could actually make ornaments and put a top and hook on, but these were not to hang on a tree or take home, just for the sensory play.
Look at the concentration on their faces - love it!
