"I Spy" Rainbow Bottle

Gather trinkets in a variety of colors. Make sure that the trinkets can fit through the bottle opening.

Sort the trinkets by color and place them on matching colored paper. Photograph each of the color groupings. The photographs will become "spy cards" to go with each bottle.

Fill the bottles with treasures and rainbow rice. Leave some room inside for the rice and treasures to slide around so kids can tilt the bottles and bring different items into view.

Super glue the lids so that all the rice and trinkets stay in the bottle.

Laminate the spy cards to make them durable and kid-proof.

Time to play! Here are some ideas:

• Find and count as many items of one color as possible.
• Challenge the kids to find one particular trinket.
• Make up a silly story using the objects the kids find in the bottle.
