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.
All you need is
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

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

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.
