I hadn't intended to make an actual project when we started this. I laid out the rice and asked her what we should do with it. I figured it would just turn into a sand table type of activity with rainbow rice. But the minute saw the gorgeous grains she (very insistently) asked to make her "very own rainbow on paper and then hang it up with tape". Wow......the lady knows what she wants! Don't know where she got that? hahaha So away we went. I found a spare piece of tag board, some glue, and we went to town. At the end I suggested that we use some of the cotton balls left over from our Paper Plate Easter Bunnies for clouds. She thought that was a wonderful idea. :)

Trick: Instead of putting the glue on the
cotton balls, put the cotton balls on the glue! Dab one large dot of
glue wherever you want the kiddo to put a cotton ball. Not only does
this stave off a huge mess (which would really bother my little one and
stop our project right in it's tracks) but it lets your little guy or
gal work on hand/eye coordination.

Rainbow Rice
Thank you to Happy Hooligans for a fast, easy, and ecologically friendly way of making this beautiful rainbow rice. I made the it ahead of time because I wasn't sure how much it would
stain. Turns out I could have easily let Lily help out......when you
make it in an old tub (Cool Whip, butter, etc.....) it's super easy and
relatively clean. Rainbow Rice recipe
