Fun With Rice

Emily's Rice Sensory Bucket

Emily really enjoyed playing in our new sensory bucket. I had gone to our Children’s Museum for a Messy Afternoon Program where they had rice set up at a table, and kept meaning to try it at home. Finally, after seeing it on a Teaching Tot’s post and noticing how much Emily enjoyed filling our dogs food bowl with a scooper, I decided I had to go and get the stuff for it.

I mixed green colored rice with white rice and then put two different sized containers for her to fill, a spoon and a funnel. She enjoyed testing out each object. After we were finished with it she asked me to “do rice Mommy” throughout the rest of the day.
