We have been playing with sensory bins a lot lately at our house and we recently made a batch of colored rice, so I thought I’d share our method with you.
** A special thank you to Sam, my 8-year-old son for taking the pictures. 🙂
Supplies you will need:
- Uncooked rice
- Rubbing alcohol
- Ziploc bags – quart or gallon will work
- Food coloring
Pour 2 Tablespoons of rubbing alcohol into a ziploc bag.
Add 3 drops of food coloring.
Add 1 cup of rice.
Close the bag and shake and squish the rice around until all of it is evenly coated.
Empty the bag and spread the rice out on some paper towel. Let the rice dry for a of couple hours. We made ours in the evening and left it to dry overnight.
And then, play!

Double, triple, or quadruple the recipe as desired.
Add more food coloring for bolder colors.
