This is a big winner of an activity. We've been leaving the rice on the tray because then it's easy for us to pull it out for Holly to play with. And play with it she will. For long stretches of time. It's a great sensory activity. Holly loves to fill up different containers, pour them out, and bury her hands. We recently threw in a couple of her animal figurines for added fun. The rice was easy to dye, I just squirted in regular food dye and stirred it really well. It turned out more beautiful than I anticipated. It's a cheap and easy activity. And not nearly as messy as I thought it would be especially after I took a couple deep breaths and relaxed a little! Let me know if you try it!
Notice that Holly is wearing a princess dress in all these pictures? And pretty much all the pictures I've taken of her recently? Every single day she wears it. She loves it! And she's super good about wearing it only when we're at home. No medivial throw-backs outside these walls.
