Rainbow Rice I-Spy Bottle

Invite your child to play a special game of I-Spy, whilst you wait for the St Patrick’s Day Parade to pass or play along at a Paddy’s Day Party. Our Rainbow Rice I-Spy Bottle is easy to make and will keep your little ones busy for ages.

Excitement levels are building in our house for the upcoming St Patrick’s Day Parade. BUT we have a big dilemma this year, do we march with the boys Soccer Club, GAA Club, Karate Club or just enjoy it all from the side-lines?

Whatever way we decide to go, it will mean a long wait on the side lines with my 3 year old daughter, so I like to bring a few activities along with me to stop her from getting bored (and eating up all of the snacks in the first 10 minutes!).

We made a big batch of Rainbow Rice recently, which we have already used in our Rainbow Rice Sensory Writing Tray and in our Math Addition Sensory Bin for The Kindergarten Connection. The bright colours have been a big hit with the kids, so I decided to add it to another one of our St Patrick’s Day activities and added some to a Sensory Bottle and turned it into an I-Spy game for all of my kids to enjoy playing with.
