This is a simple tutorial on how to dye rice with Kool-aid. This is a great way to add vibrant colors and scents to rice for sensory bins.
You’ll need:
- 1 cup rice
- 1/2 teaspoon Kool-aid
- 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol
- large ziplock bag
Directions:
1-Pour your rice inside the bag and add 1/2 teaspoon of Kool-aid.
2.Next add the rubbing alcohol and close the bag and shake, shake, shake. My toddler loved helping with this step.
3. Let the rice sit in the bag for a few minutes and then spread the rice out on tinfoil to dry. Dry overnight or for several hours. Speed method: I used a blow dryer on low, to quickly dry the rice and it was ready in minutes!
