A Toddler Trick for indoors, A Toddler Trick for outdoors

May 15, 2012

A friend from my coffee group back home in New Zealand got me on to making this amazing “rainbow rice’! I think it’s a great alternative to sand and is vibrant and fun for your toddler to play with! Your toddler can play with it pretty much any where!!! at a sand table outside, in a empty bath tub, paddling pool or in big bowls/containers you have lying around the house. It’s cheap, fun, easy to make and any spills are easily vacuumed up in minutes!!!! Joey also suggested you add in some shells, spades, cars, rakes which I thought was a great idea!

This toddler trick is perfect for any toddler! Parent supervision at all times to ensure none is consumed! =)

Go to african babies don’t cry blog to find out the amounts and how to make this amazing rainbow rice!

What you need:

- White wine vinegar
- Food coloring
- Zip lock bags
- Rice

This rice is also great to pop inside old plastic bottles to make maracas or I-spy bottles!

Joey has started her very own business called Rainbows which specializes in selling colorful cloth nappies. Check it out!!!

Other mums and dads seemed to like sharing my ideas and have encouraged me to develop “Toddler Tricks” an online box of great ideas to keep toddlers entertained. If you read my blog you will see that I also have a passion for food and with a partner who is a personal trainer we are big on getting out and about as a family. I look forward to meeting other parents through this blog and sharing ideas, stories and some funny moments.
