Exploring our beautiful . Go look for How To Make Colored Rice treasures you’ve never seen! Harrison River You Need: mountain top. Breathtaking!

1. White Rice (uncooked) 2. Food Coloring 3. Vinegar 4. Sealable Baggies

Measure out one cup of white rice and place it into a sealable baggie.

Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Add the food coloring of your choosing. The more you put in, the brighter and more vibrant the result will be. Seal your baggie and shake it up! This is a great way to include your kids in the dying rice process. Keep shaking and massaging the rice in the bag until you have an even color. Spread the rice out on a paper towel or wax paper to dry. I let mine dry overnight, but it really only takes a couple of hours. Cheap, white rice works best.

Time to Play!
