I Spy (In a bottle)

I Spy (In a bottle)

 We have ‘hidden’ lots of little objects in coloured rice!! I made these for my friends little boys, but our whole family are enjoy playing with them!!

Serena decided to make herself one with purple and blue rice and twice as many objects!!

To colour rice it is SO SIMPLE I couldn’t believe it. All you need is rice, food colouring, plastic bag and rubbing alcohol (or 4 pumps of hand sanitizer)

I used 2 cups of rice per plastic bag

Pour 1 capful of the rubbing alcohol into each bag

 

Then add a few drops of food colouring

 

Now simply ‘massage’ the bags until you have an even colour

We spread out our coloured rice on the trampoline to dry. It didn’t take very long at all as the rubbing alcohol helps with the drying process too!!

While the rice was drying we collected heaps of little objects. The smaller the better!!

Then I typed up the list of objects and laminated it

Now the fun part!! We mixed the coloured rice together. (We mixed one with MORE blue rice and one with MORE yellow)

I use this empty dry juice bottle and put some of the objects into the bottom

Then some rice

Keep layering the objects and rice until the bottle is nearly full

Glued the lids on!!

We then tied the object list onto the bottle so it won’t get lost!!

These would be great for long car trips or waiting rooms!!
