Rainbow Rice Cupcakes

Today, we used rainbow rice to make cupcakes. The kids had a blast. The older kids used measuring cups and spoons to measure rice to put in our bowl. Then we stirred the rainbow rice and used an ice cream scoop to put the rice in a muffin tin. Finally, we cooked our cupcakes in the oven!!! The kids loved this activity.  For the older kids we learned about the steps it takes to make cupcakes. The younger kids had a blast throwing rice everywhere!

Waterbeads

Water beads are a staple activity in the Peaceful Playroom. Lots of people ask me what I could possibly do with the. My answer is EVERYTHING. I use water beads in play at least once or twice a week. Last week we filled the water table with them. This equals hours of fun for kids and adults alike.
