Begin by transforming ordinary white rice into a vibrant blue ocean floor. Follow the simple recipe provided here, combining white rice, blue food coloring, and white vinegar. Once your blue rice is ready, fill one side of the sensory bin with this mesmerizing ocean bed, laying the foundation for your underwater adventure.
On the opposite side of the bin, spread out the plain chickpeas, creating a sandy beach where ocean meets land.
Scatter your ocean animal figures and sea shells throughout the blue rice, creating a bustling marine habitat teeming with life.
Enhance the beach area with lush greenery and aquarium plants, adding a touch of realism to your seaside scene. Add seashells, the bowl and scooper. If you have a little person you can add them to the beach as well.
