What Will You Need?

Rice (White, long-grain)

Vinegar

Food colouring

Food bags

Implementation

Step 1

Pour one cup of rice and ½ teaspoon of vinegar into a food bag or storage tub with a lid.

Step 2

Add a few drops of food colouring into the rice mix. Be generous with the amount you add if you want bright colours, or use just a couple of drops if you want to get a pastel effect. We added roughly half a tube of gel colouring to our bag.

Step 3

Seal the bag tightly and then shake it well. The colour will spread throughout the rice in about a minute.

Step 4

Once the colour has spread throughout the whole bag of rice, you’ll have brightly coloured rice but it will still be wet to the touch. Pour it on to a plate, or on to baking tray lined with grease-proof paper. Spread it evenly into a thin layer, ready to dry.
