You will need:

• White uncooked rice
• plastic sealable bags or containers with lids
• food coloring 
• White vinegar
• wax paper

Instructions:

1.  Place 1 cup of rice in each bag or container for each color you are doing.
2. Add food coloring and one teaspoon of vinegar in each bag and close the bag or container. Shake till the rice is covered in food coloring or till the desired color intensity is attained. 
3. When the desired color is achieved spread a thin layer of rice over wax paper to dry. I let mine dry overnight.
4. Store in an airtight container only after the rice is dry to avoid spoilage.

We love using this rainbow rice in sensory bins and have also used it as sprinkles for playdough cookies in the toy kitchen. How will you be using your rainbow rice? Leave us a comment below with your rainbow rice ideas.
