It has been a long time since we have played with our colored rice. This week my daughter pulled out all the colors we had. When she realized we almost had a complete rainbow of colors, she asked if we could put them all together, and our rainbow treasure hunt sensory bin was formed!
To make our bin, I pulled out the large under the bed storage container I keep for sensory play.
My daughter helped to carefully pour each color into the bin. (We had a lot of the red, white, and pink mix from our candy cane rice!)
Once all the colored rice was in the bin, she hunted out some LEGO Friends
We scattered some of the treasure on top, and I hid some under the rice for her to hunt for.
For an extra touch of magic, I sprinkled a bit of glitter across the rice before she went on her treasure hunt.
She had lots of fun discovering all the hidden treasure, and I had lots of fun creating a sensory bin with my daughter’s help.
