He wasn't quite sitting up yet so we'd prop him on a pillow and he'd stick his hands in and move them around. He is about 5 months here and so many people asked me if he was trying to eat it. If you have a 5 month old, you know- they don't have a pincer grip or the grip that uses the thumb and index finger to pick stuff up. He was beginning to use a sweeping grip but rice falls right through those fingers!
I eventually made Rainbow Rice, an older toddler classroom favorite! You can find the recipe here: Rainbow Rice
He was talking...
The box got a bit too high so we tired a baking sheet too!
And of course on his high chair tray!
So many ways you can try out sensory things with your little one! For things like rice that are easier to vacuum than sweep or mop, I highly recommend the rug be under your child! So much quicker to run over the rug with the vacuum! Things that need to be swept or mopped, we do on a tablecloth turned picnic blanket!
