Today we dyed rice to use for a project on Friday. Dominic did all the measuring (math) and used the funnel to transfer the vinegar and rice into jars (basic home skills). He also got to choose the colors for the rice and count out ten drops of food coloring as it dropped in (math again). Cheers to projects that help him to learn and don't require books and pencils!
If you want to know how to dye your own rice, it's really easy (and non-toxic and cheap as well). You can use it for all sorts of art projects.

When I was in fourth grade we did a colored rice project. I drew and then filled in with colored rice the colors of and Eastern Blue Jay. I loved that bird! Didn't actually see one until we went to Jon and Jen's.
