Experimenting with Rice

We have been doing some sensory activities with Little, trying to find. Trying to find something simple and stimulating, I realized there is a notable amount of experimenting (and dirtying) a child can do with a rice tub. 

We had two plastic containers (one filled with rice), a strainer, a cup and a funnel. As you can guess, we also ended up using a broom.


Little loved the sensory experience of playing with the rice. She loved the flow, pour, scoop action as well.



We ended up with rice everywhere (EVERYWHERE!!!!). She did help clean it up, but right after we swept it into a mount on the floor, she would kick it everywhere again and laugh. So I decided I was better off cleaning it on my own.
Our dog did try the rice and did not like it at all.
