Dyed Rice
Materials:
- white rice
- rubbing alcohol
- food coloring
- large plastic bag (freezer bag)
- parchment paper

Instructions:
1. Fill plastic bag with desired amount of rice.
2. Add approx. 1 tbsp of alcohol over rice, close bag and shake to disperse.
3. Sprinkle food coloring in bag (I used about 12 drops but I wanted my colors to be bold) and disperse.
4. Lay out parchment paper (preferably in the sun) and evenly spread rice.
5. Allow to dry in the sun (maybe 10 minutes? How’s that for a fast craft?!).
6. Combine all colors in a large plastic bin, throw in a few pouring containers and make yourself a cup of tea because your kid will be so entertained you’ll have a least 10 minutes all to yourself!
