To Make Colorful Sensory Rice:
Measure rice into a container with a lid (I put 1 cup of rice into a ziplock bag).
Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the rice. Add 1 or 2 drops of food coloring as desired (deeper color= more food coloring).
Cover the container (or zip up the bag) and SHAKE the rice vigorously for a minute or two. Make sure all the rice is covered in the vinegar/food coloring mixture.
Spread the colored rice on a paper towel or a tray in even layer to dry.
