Sensory activity with colors and texture
I home school my son who is two and we explore with home items. This time he was learning the colour red and i used rice to help him experience texture as well. He enjoyed the whole activity. He enjoyed making circles.
Making the coloured rice
I used a zip lock bag and a small portion of rice to which i added red food colouring. I made red, yellow and green. Our first colour to explore was red.
Once coated well by rubbing the two inside a closed bag, place in a bowl or any clean surface to dry. I left mine for 30 minutes.
It can be used to teach different colours.
To teach texture.
Can be used as a shape or letter formation activity.
