I'm also a Childminder and yesterday the children played with coloured rice. I bought kilo bags of rice from Asda for 40p each and coloured them with food dye, about half a teaspoon. I mixed them by hand and it was surprising how quickly they mixed, although my hands were a bonny colour by the end! Then I left them on trays, spread out, to dry over night. Yesterday I gave them a tray each, some scoops, spoons, and containers and they spent ages experimenting with the rice. Next, when they get bored with this we will make pictures with some glue and the rice. Then who knows what we might think of before I probably end up boiling it up to feed to the hens!
