Writing in rice is a fun sensory experience!
Before trying the rice I tried sugar (attracts ants) and salt (too messy). B had a fun time writing in rice. It was easy to see on the floor for pickup purposes. I wish I would have made the area bigger for him to draw and write in, but I enjoyed the fact that I could just snap the lid on and store it until next time.

Thanks for stopping by my site as well! I try to post an activity that goes along with a book we are reading at least once a week, so I will be sure to be checking out your blog for inspiration! Hope you have fun making the caterpillar!

If you have a cookie sheet with a rim, you can put it in that. We tried to write in rice, but found we could see our letters better in the salt.http://theadventuresofbear.blogspot.com/2009/09/salt-tray.html

I have a huge bag of rice that I want to dye, but I think we will use it for this first because who knows when I will get around to dyeing it. Thanks!
