Jack's favorite activity.
The rice box is soothing, interesting, full of treasures. It makes me quiet.
It feels good on my hands and arms. It sounds different when I pour the rice on more rice or on the bottom of the box
The rice box makes me an explorer, an architect and an excavation specialist. I am a pirate hiding buried treasure. I am a pirate finding buried treasure and stealing it!
I assumed the rice box would be a super messy crazy playtime event. I have never been more wrong. It puts Jack in a very Zen place and any rice that escapes the box is easily vacuumed up. Every kid needs one.
That's such a good idea! I always loved sticking my hands in things like rice and uncooked beans and such. And so much less messy than sand.
We don't have one for Robbie, but he did play with one when the First Steps teacher was coming to the house to work with him. He played with it for the entire hour she was here that day.... :o)
