> 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!
