Last week we had a visit from our cousin, Hazel, and her Mommy. To prepare for this special day we got busy coming up with a fun craft to do with Hazel. If you haven't dyed rice or pasta yet, you have to try it sometime...it's so easy! I scooped 1/2 cup of rice into each baggie, a drop of food coloring and 1 teaspoon of rubbing alcohol. Have the kids squeeze it around and then let the rice dry overnight.
I love any chance I can get to have the kids play with a "color wheel".
Next the kids gathered colorful stuff from around the house
When Hazel came they dropped the found objects in their bottles and we filled the bottles about 3/4 full with rainbow rice. As an extra precaution, we super glued the lids on.

Very cute idea!! I've been thinking about making one of these lately, and I really like the way that yours turned out. This even seems like something I could do with Kye.
Awesome idea! I've always wanted to make some of those. Love that you glued the top on. Probably a really good idea.
I bet the cousins love to come and visit your house, with fun crafts like that. :) I tried coloring rice once, but I didn't know about using the rubbing alcohol....that must be the important step I left out.
My oldest daughter's Girl Scout Troop had to make swaps for day camp this year - they dyed rice and made little teeny bags with ten or so grains in each and labeled them "Rainbow Seeds."
I love the idea of hiding rainbow items from around the house in the bottles - great project!
