At least throwing rice is not as bad as throwing sand when it comes to getting into the eyes. Next time they throw it maybe you could remove it and give them a throwing toy/game to play and explain that this is what is used for throwing, beanbags, balls, frisbe etc.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309822117277373447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419238510765011013.post-78937080984624118962012-01-14T23:47:45.456-06:002012-01-14T23:47:45.456-06:00I actually have it on our hard flood so it sweeps ...I actually have it on our hard flood so it sweeps up easy. I always expect some to be on the floor so I try not to worry. I did use the alcohol when I colored the rice and actually the stuff that was on the girls clothes washed off no problem. I think it was more just dust than color. They still love it. I think it is a good toy, just not good if you are a neat freak.Small Fry and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17900951755331368694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419238510765011013.post-37050683501993225322012-01-13T01:19:29.422-06:002012-01-13T01:19:29.422-06:00I saw this on pinterest too and so wanted to do it...I saw this on pinterest too and so wanted to do it but now I'm not so sure....maybe as an outside toy?

When play is finished, just pick up the shower curtain and dump it all back I. You still might need to sweep a little, but most of the mess was contained. And don't worry about the throwing rice. I don't think your girls are young for it. They are just exploring and learning. Not sure why the dye is coming off on your hands. Did you use rubbing alcohol when you colored the rice?Mama Pickleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946672081981356754noreply@blogger.com
