I found a really simple thing to make for Parker the other day... Colored Rice!
You need:
Rice (I bought a 25 pound bag from Sam's Club for less than $10)
Rubbing Alcohol
Food Coloring
A Rubbermaid Container
A Cookie Sheet (not pictured)
Gallon Sized Ziploc Bags (not pictured)
Preheat the oven to 350* and start by adding 2 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol and food coloring (amount will be on the back of the box, I did it as if I were making frosting) into a Ziploc bag. Mix the liquid around a little bit before adding 5 cups of rice.
Mix the rice and liquid until the rice is completely covered.
Once the rice is completely colored, spread it out onto your cookie sheet. I lined mine with aluminum foil (for no good reason, may I add). Bake at 350* for about 5 minutes. You may have to mix the rice around a little bit half way through if there are some thik spots.
Dump into your container and enjoy!
Parker LOVES his.. If you can't tell!
He had a lot of fun playing with it and everyday since we made it he has been asking for it.
However.. I do not suggest this project if you are afraid of a mess.. Because it's bound to happen!
