Rainbow Barley Sensory Bin

"This is a great rainbow sensory bin for a mixed age group, especially if you want a sensory material that can be used over and over again. We previously made an edible rainbow sensory bin which is perfect for toddlers (if you don’t mind a bit of a sugar high), and though I wouldn’t advise eating raw barley, at least I knew if a few grains were tasted that they wouldn’t pose a choking hazard. (Though they would probably lead to an upset belly.)"

Materials List

• 1 pound of pearl barley
  
• 1 teaspoon food dye
  
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbing alcohol
