Notes
*Rainbow rice: Add ¼ C dried white rice to a small ziplock baggie with 1-2 tsp of acrylic paint.
Seal the bag and gently mix the paint and rice until it’s completely covered. Repeat this process
until all the colors of the rainbow are created. Carefully pour the painted rice onto a wax
paper-lined cooking sheet to let dry for 2-3 hours or overnight. Use the same process for the
pink rice.
*Clear glue is recommended over baby oil for a more fluid-moving sensory bottle.
