Today I am teaching everyone how to make Rainbow Rice at home…because you aren’t really a legit #momblogger until you have a Rainbow Rice Recipe on your blog…. Am I right? You know I am…

It is a rite of passage for any woman who wishes to deem herself Pinterest Blogger worthy…

So here we go…

Rainbow Rice is actually very simple {and fun} to make.

Rice {cheaper is better}

Zipper Baggies

Food Coloring {we like the Neons in this house}

My proportions are ½ Cup per bag of white, cheap rice.

I used 8-10 drops of each solid, lone color I was using {we’ll
get to color mixing later}

Add your drops.

Seal your bag leaving
in a pillow of air

Rapidly shake and
mix. The faster the better. Go crazy with it, just don’t go breaking the seal!

For this Tye-Dye color
I used this recipe:

To get Orange I
used this recipe:

For my darkest Purple I used
this recipe:

The final “trick” that most people forget before they play
with it is to LET IT DRY! You must unseal all of your bags and let them air dry
for a day or two {so this is a make ahead recipe} or speed it up with a low
hair dryer. If you don’t let them dry you’re going to have little fingers
covered in dye… which they’ll probably love, but you might not.

I also advise spreading them out on a paper towel if you have the room for faster drying time.
