ABC Rice Hunt

1.  Take Rainbow Rice (or use your sandbox if you don't have a rice tub.)
2.  Hide in foam letters from a Dollar Tree puzzle.
3.  Send your child on a letter hunt, finding the letters and putting them back into the puzzle.

This easy and cheap activity is not only a great sensory experience, but it also develops letter recognition and spatial sense!  Liliana was saying things like, "Micah- I found a M for you!" and "Only 4 more letters left to find."  Puzzles are not her strongest activity because she doesn't have the attention span for them, so combining it with a sensory activity kept her focused.  She hid/found them all 3 times!!!  On a funny note- She found the letter b and told me "I found a 'CK-CK-CK' letter T for Anna!"  Hmmm...close sweetheart.
