a rainbow on a rainy day

I recently came across a FABULOUS blog!! It is filled with soo many fun and easy crafts and ideas. If you're looking for some great ideas, you should definitely check out Pink and Green Mama.


I saw this idea for a Rainbow Rice Box and knew this would solve our rainy day blues. We took her suggestion of food coloring & hand sanitizer.... annnnnd VIOLA! we had rainbow rice in about 10 minutes. Bubba had such a great time picking his colors and then squishing the bags to mix it all up.


What I really loved was that as Bubba played with the rice he was telling me the colors! He spent about 2 hours playing with this box... quite an attention holder! and for the past week, he's asked for it at least once a day. He also was very excited that he was able to use small toys, cupcake molds and spoons.



We spent the afternoon burying cars, dragons... a barrel of monkeys joined the fun & Bubba even filled up the cupcake molds to make some pretend cupcakes. All in all a great rainy day activity.
