Toddler Activities: Transferring Rice

Warning- this activity is MESSY but fun!


I'm teaching Landon how to transfer stuff. I provided a cup of rice, a few containers, measuring cups, funnels and spoons... I also had a dirt devil and broom with dustpan for clean up!

I showed him how to use the spoon and funnel. then I stepped back and let me explore.


every once in awhile, I will remind him to "keep it in the box" and to be careful. he really did try! he said "uh-oh" every time he spilled rice. It was really cute to watch him explore!


the best thing about giving him an activity is... I can cook dinner in peace!

  1. I put a king size sheet under Samson when he plays with rice, then I can scoop it all back up to use again :)

    1. That's so smart! Sweeping up rice is painful!!!

  2. You really have the best toddler activities! I think I have some rice somewhere, but maybe we'll do it outside =) Although dry rice isn't the worst floor sin!
