I found that it washes off quite easily. I still want to experiment with making this I like the comment below about using Wiltons food color and water.

There is a possibility that any substance at home and in the classroom could be put in a child's mouth, but unless they ingested a LARGE quantity of rice, this would not be detrimental.Jolanthehttp://www.homeschoolcreations.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788078455674853620.post-52688113003433042902012-10-22T16:38:19.933-04:002012-10-22T16:38:19.933-04:00Do you think it is really safe to use rubbing alco...Do you think it is really safe to use rubbing alcohol with something that might be put in children's mouths?

O_o I was shocked! But I think it would be because the rice absorbs the water, but not the alcohol. I tried both because I used two different kinds of food colouring: normal liquid stuff, and wilton gel colouring for icing (the super potent stuff). The gel wouldn't mix into the alcohol, so for those colours, I had to use water. I have 5 BRIGHT colours of rice: green, blue, purple, red, black, and 2 not so bright: yellow and orange. So excited for them to play tomorrow!Dinnae Gallowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788078455674853620.post-79479711332961821622011-12-27T20:36:15.521-05:002011-12-27T20:36:15.521-05:00Liga, you would use the alcohol to make it dry fas...Liga, you would use the alcohol to make it dry faster. I use alcohol with shimmer paint to make a shimmer mist for my grown up paper-crafting ... it makes the mist dry super duper fast, and does the same thing as water. alcohol evaporates in moments, and simple stirring would be sufficient, whereas the posts/instructions i've seen with rice that they use water to dye it you have to spread the rice out on paper, in a single layer... a) i don't have that much space LOL! and b) much more potential for mess with rice spread out like that. :)<br /><br />Thank you Sara, GREAT instructions, and I LOVE that you did differentiate between the rice and pasta methods. :DDinnaenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788078455674853620.post-35791821192410903312011-05-12T10:56:44.354-04:002011-05-12T10:56:44.354-04:00Thanks for the tips!
