Rainbow Rice Tuff Tray

Who doesn't love rainbow rice?!

Last time I made rainbow rice, I tried the white vinegar and food colouring recipe, it was great BUT it turned out more of a pastel rainbow which was gorgeous but I wanted bright! So I tried the paint recipe and it worked beautifully, my OH's cousin helped as she is with me one day a week through out the summer holidays! 

We poured the rice into a plastic tub, added some paint and shook until it was all covered and did the same with every colour until they were all done and we put them in the sun on the tuff tray to dry out, turning occasionally to make sure it was all dry! Obviously if you don't have time for this, some places have it readily made Tiny Land Rainbow Rice (7) Tiny Land Rainbow Rice (5)

I paired it with all the rainbows, including, our grant palos, Lanka Kade animals, Rainbow Ned, Walnut Ned and our Grimms 6 piece rainbow! I also used a couple of our tuff tray bits, like a small bucket and spade and an old opaque bottle that we use with a pump usually! He loves a bucket and spade with anything like this, he loves to empty it and fill it and the cycle just continues! 

Zach and his cousin both loved the rice, his cousin and I made some really cool boomerangs on my phone and Zach can just spend hours just pouring the rice into the bucket and back out! The colours were also so awesome and bright, exactly what I wanted! The animals and palos didn't really get played with as I think the rice was just so exciting, Ned got some loving but he always does! 

Thanks for reading and I hope you found it somewhat useful, please leave any comment below!
