Instructions
Creating the Night Sky: Purple Rice
- First, let's transform your ordinary white rice into a mesmerizing night sky. Place a generous amount of white rice in a large ziplock bag.
- In a separate container, mix a few drops of purple food coloring with vinegar until you achieve your desired shade of purple.
- Pour this mixture into the bag with the rice.
- Seal the bag securely and let your little ones squish and shake it until the rice is evenly coated with the vibrant purple color.
- Cover a baking sheet with wax paper. Spread the rice out on a baking sheet to dry. This will be the night backdrop for our bat adventure.
Crafting Bat Companions
- Take your bow-tie pasta and, following the same process, dye it black using black food coloring and vinegar in a ziplock bag.
- Spread the pasta out to dry on a separate baking sheet. These pasta bats will add a delightful tactile element to our sensory bin.
