Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Add the rice to a zip lock back and add 6-7 drops of orange food coloring. Zip the bag up and kneed it to make sure all the rice is colored.
Step 2
Add the rice and beans to the container.
Step 3
Then add the decorations and toys.
Step 4
First, my daughter used the whisk to whisk the beans and rice around.
Step 5
Then she used a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to dig in the mixture. She said "pumpkin" for the very first time! She pronounced it as "pumpkey," which melted my heart.
Step 6
We talked about the colors black and orange that were in the bin. We also used the gourds to talk about texture.
Final result!
She had a blast doing this activity. She spent around 45 minutes playing with this, which for this busy toddler is a miracle!
