Hi Everyone,
Someone mentioned making Treasure Bottles with small objects inside with
rice for the circulation desk to keep students busy during check out (thanks
for the idea!). I have been collecting small Barbie and Polly Pocket items
from my 10-year-old daughter to put inside the bottles (a shoe for
Cinderella, hair for Rapunzel, a mirror for Snow White, a duck for the Ugly
Duckling for starters) .
We just finished coloring the rice to go into the bottles too. It was fun! I
used 1 cup of rice, 1 tsp alcohol, and I started with 6 drops of food
coloring. I put it all inside a sandwich-sized zippered baggie and kneaded
until the rice was well coated. Spread the rice on a cookie sheet to dry. I
used only two colors at a time inside the bottle. I don't want it to be too
"busy" inside that the students can't find the objects. I have another
bottle with a bowling pin, a flipper, 2 medals and a water bottle as a
sports theme. For a technology themed bottle I have a watch, computer mouse,
camera, and a cell phone. That Barbie sure has great accessories!
ENJOY!
