Due to Briony's food intolerances it's sometimes hard to find sensory food things that she can play with. As rice is only grain she can tolerate I had the idea to use rice noodles. One evening I made a large batch of rice noodles, split them into 3 bags and added some liquid watercolour (food colouring would also work) and a bit of vinegar. Briony enjoyed feeling the bags.
I then put them in a plastic container for her to play with. I put a shower curtain on the floor and shone a torch through the side of the container to add to the experience.
After a while they got very sticky and she did not enjoy them as much. So the next day I took the activity outside, added the noodles to a large container of water and she played with 'noodle soup'! The colours blended and the water turned blue. She loved fishing for the noodles with a pasta spoon and sieve. She also enjoyed pouring the mixture into a bun tin.
