I LOVE sensory tubs! When my daughter just needs a break or I do lol it great entertainment. To feel the rice run through your fingers is such a calming feeling. H "makes sand castles" lol and pours, dumps, scoops,and plays for a long time. Great for when other kids come over. I am going to get a little dust pan and broom to go next to it so she can learn responsibility to clean up the ones that fall out too.
I make it in a gallon size ziploc bag. I add 4-5 pumps of hand sanitizer and 8-10 drops of food coloring and mix in closed bag. then let it sit for about 12-24 hours it is actually ready before that but I usually make things like this after I put my little one to bed so it sits overnight. good luck it is supper easy.
I love this idea and have been wanting to make one for a while. How did you dye the rice? Does it stain the hands? So cute!

ReplyDeleteThank you! I have hand sanitizer that smells like cupcakes I think Ill try it with that. I'm going to do it this weekend, thanks for the great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow that will smell yummy! and thanks for reminding me to add directions to the rice coloring I was going to orginally but totally forgot
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like great fun! I am wondering how much rice you use in each gallon-sized bag?
ReplyDeletesorry it took so long I have been really distracted lately I usually fill the bag up about 1/2 way. there is no perfect measurements just till the color looks right.
