For crafts with children, you will need the so-called colored rice.
To prepare it, you will need rice, food coloring (liquid is better), vinegar, plastic bags, cling film or parchment and oilcloth for work (I used disposable diapers).
It is not so easy to find dyes in our city, so I stocked up on materials during the Easter holidays 🙂
I tried to paint rice with finger paints - it does not hold.
The preparation technique is very simple: if the dyes were sold dry, dilute them with water. You need to add a few drops of vinegar to the paint so that the paint lays down more evenly and holds better.
Pour rice into a bag and add paint there. Mix thoroughly. Leave overnight on a dry, clean surface.
Excellent material for crafts and decor is ready.
You can make pictures with it, decorate (paste over) vases, pour layers into jars. And at the same time develop fine motor skills of the hands.

I also have paint for Easter eggs. They stay with me every year. Where are there so many? I paint about a dozen eggs. Now they are for me! Who would have thought? This is an interesting idea with rice coloring. Loving mothers never cease to amaze with suggestions for the development of children. I am a grandmother, but in the past I taught elementary school children. Then I did not know such a way of children's creativity. Now I will take care of my granddaughter, thank you.
