Ready for a bat-tastic rescue? This sensory bin features a base of bright orange rice with bowtie pasta painted black to resemble bats.

Want to dye your own rice? It’s easy! Just toss some rice into a ziplock bag with a few drops of food coloring, seal it up, and shake until the rice is fully coated. Spread it out on a lined baking sheet to dry, and voilà—your vibrant, spooky rice is ready for play 🦇
