What we used:
10lb bag of white rice (Walmart $5.00)
Green food coloring (one neon and one regular)
Rubbing alcohol
Various Fairy Garden Pieces (Dollar tree)
Mini Eggs (Dollar Tree)
Playmobil pieces
To dye the rice I put 3 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol in each gallon sized ziplock bag. I added dark green food coloring to two bags, and neon green food coloring to two bags. 10lbs of rice is 25 cups so I added 6 heaping cups of rice to each bag. Mix them up and let air dry.
Pour rice into a container.
This is 2 gallon sized bags. I made extra because I plan on bringing it to our classroom.
