Sensory fun with rainbow rice

Originally uploaded by stacycakes

We have been doing lots of things with rainbows, so when I needed a good idea for my sensory table, colored rice seemed like a fun choice. The kids are nabbing a blast with it, I added some small sand toys, rakes, funnels, shovels, and than the kids decided to add some matchbox cars. Than I added some large collared gems, the fun is endless!

Here's what you need to make it:
rice
White vinegar
Food coloring
Baggies
Cookie sheet
Place 1 1/2 cups of rice for each color you want to make. Add 1 tbs vinegar and food coloring. Seal the bag and have the kids shake until the colors all mixed unto the rice. When all the colors are mixed, gently pourontoa cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes in a low oven,225.add toys and have fun!

Rainbow love

This week we reviewed the letter "r". I was trying to think of fun letter r projects, we made raindrops one day, traced the letter r, made colored rice for the sensory table and made colored rainbows. I filled an egg carton with alt he colors of the rainbow and had a special painting tool that pulls the paint, kind of like an ice scraper. I put all the different colored paint on the tip of the scraper and let the kids pull the paint onto the paper, they came so beautiful!.... Next post, colored rice for some sensory fun!

me and j

its been a lovely few months in my world, actually its been a lovely 6 months to be exact. despite a hurricane, a fall snow storm and  two power outages, my life has been full of fun, love and laughter. as thanksgiving is upon us, i would like to take the time to give thanks for the small everyday gifts i have been blessed with. i had a very difficult start to this year, and as the year will be coming to a close soon enough i am so thankful that i made it through and am happier than i thought i would ever be again. so take the time to enjoy a picnic, or a sun rise or a song with someone....life is short, and unexpected so carpe diem, carpe diem!

Tame me

Tame me, oh tame me
I need to be tamed

Tame me, oh tame me
If you know my name

My head is restless,
My heart,
My soul

Tame me, please tame me
And make me feel whole

Running wild through the depths of the sea

Tame me, oh tame me
My name is ec-Stacy

Us

Started out backwards,commited sight unseen,
who would have thought it would have ever lost it's sheen.
The glasses we wore were the color of rose,
Until resentment set in,when it was I just don't know.
Our love was forever I never thought it would end,
Now I'm left sitting alone.........barely friends.
