Spring Green Colored Rice Sensory Bin
Simple Green Colored Rice Sensory Bin Set Up
I dyed multiple shades of green rice one night. Simple to do! 1 cup of rice, 1/2 tsp of vinegar, and food coloring! Put in a container and shake vigorously until well coated. Spread on a paper towel to dry!
See what else you can dye with our simple recipe for dying sensory bin fillers.
I chose to put the rice in myself to see how I did with my coloring process. You can see a few shades! However, I did not want to put anything else in the bin. I did choose to place several scoops and spoons nearby. Totally his choice!
Simple Green Colored Rice Sensory Bin Play
He found some PVC piping and had a lot of fun with filling it and watching it pour out! We did quite a bit of filling and dumping. We filled, scooped, sifted and so much more AND we talked about it altogether. I will use this green colored rice for some more fun sensory bins and activities as we go through the month! This was his opportunity to explore the sensory bin without any expectations, skills practice or expected to pretend play. This Spring green colored rice bin was a relaxing experience for everyone.

I wonder if that’s true for a lot of children. My daughter is content with just a bowl, a spoon, and a bin of rice, even uncolored. Maybe it’s us who want to make it more elaborate, but the kids are happy with the simple way!

I think so at least for us Emma. We see so many pin-beautiful sensory bins that I think it makes us feel like we have to create more than we need to or than our children need!
