St. Patrick sensory bin

Our sensory bin this week is themed for St. Patrick's day. The first picture shows the items going into the tub. We had: a small clay pot painted black, foam St. Patrick's day beads, foam covers, gold coins, and plastic jewel shamrocks. The second picture is the bin assembled.

  2. The sprinkle stuff is rice that I dyed. We called it "rainbow rice" :)!

  4. How do you make the rainbow rice, and what other ways do you use it?

  5. I used a vinegar/water/food color combination to dye the rice in the individual colors (I can't remember where I got the recipe, but if you google "dye rice", there should be a recipe come up for you). I then let dry, and stored the colors in ziploc bags seperately. I combined several colors in the sensory bin to make the St. Patrick's sensory bin.
