Making this colored rice is a fun project that will lend itself to many many more crafts for your kids.  They can use the rice to make picture collages, or to fill jars with just like you would with colored sand, or you can pour it all into a big dish and hide little toys in it for a treasure hunt.  Thanks to Momtastic for this great idea!

Here’s what you need to make the colored rice:

• 8 cups uncooked rice
• Food colors
• White vinegar
• Baggies

I just found this idea on Pinterest and am now kicking myself for throwing out that container of old crayons that had been laying around my house for months.  Why couldn’t I have held onto it for a few more days?!  Not only is this a great idea for repurposing those old and broken crayons, but they can make great gifts as well.  I am so excited about this that I just might have to break into the good crayons to make some.  Thanks to Craft Daisies for the idea!

Here is what you need to make these:

• Old and broken Crayons
• mini muffin pan (one that you don’t mind getting a little crayon on)
