To make the glow in the dark rice:
Add the

to a
zipper seal bag
.
Add the
hand sanitizer
and shake it up until the
rice is coated
.
Add 1 to 2 grams of
glow in the dark pigment
and shake until the rice is coated and colourful.
Pour onto a paper plate or napkin and allow to dry for 1 hour.
Trim
several rainbows from the

Begin placing your rainbows in the bottle, slowly adding the

You can secure the lid with
school glue
to keep the contents from being spilled if desired.
To make the
rice
glow in the dark, be sure to allow it to sit in the sun for a little while to “charge” or you can invest in a
small blacklight flashlight
