Rice Surprises

My parents have a little kitchen set at their house and little kitchen utensils.  I have been eyeing the slotted spoon since Christmas and when this month rolled around, I snagged it. 

Back into the kitchen I went to dye rice a pretty lavendar dark purple.  I put in a few Easter miniatures and now they have rice surprises!  Be aware that as careful as children are (not careful at all) rice will spill.
