Well, the rainbow rice that I made on the weekend was a HIT with the Hooligans!  To make your own, click here.

I spread it out in rainbow fashion in a plastic bin, and added colourful bowls, plastic eggs, , scoops, glass jars, craft sticks, glass beads and cotton balls. 

I’ve had a couple of people ask where I get my containers for my sensory bins.  You really don’t need a fancy container.  I often use my large 9 x 15 pyrex (glass) baking pan, or a large foil “turkey roasting pan” that I picked up at the dollar store.  When I’m making a sensory bin that’s really big, I use a shallow storage container with a lid – the kind that you get at Walmart or the Hardware store.  You can even use a shallow cardboard box as a sensory bin. This one, I picked up at the dollar store for a few bucks.  It’s supposed to be a kitty litter box.

Anyway, back to the rainbow bin.  The Hooligans were REALLY excited to see this.  Heck who wouldn’t be?  Doesn’t it look yummy?

And it still looks gorgeous when it’s all mixed up!  

Have you ever made rainbow rice?  How did your little people play with it?
