Rainbow Rice is one of my great finds on Pinterest. I saw this project and I knew we were going to have to do it. I had no idea how much better the rice would look in person! Plus Zane loved doing this!

Now you have Rainbow Rice.

You can do lots of fun things with this, owe will be using it for a project for letter I (hint hint).

I also realized that this could be used for adult crafts too. It would be great for in a vase with flower (probably fake ones). Use the rice to stick your cake pops into and prop them up or hide the Styrofoam that is propping them up.

Any other ideas for uses for this fun and lovely rice?
