[@foxwithlonglox]

I don't even have children and I can't stop watching your videos... Just so creative and makes me think what a gift it is to learn in this way. High 5!

I've seen so many Valentines theme lately on instagram and they looked really fun too!

[@rowantree1197]

I don't have children, but after your video I wanted to make multicolored rice just as a home decor😍

[@brookiemmm]

[@Jirgala]

I it looks beautiful 🥰

[@alisashlittlebaby...5173]

Interesting idea 😊👍👍

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Thank you 😊

[@KripaNageshwar]

Brilliant play ideas!! But I have some questions. 1. For how long can you keep the coloured rice because you can't separate it after the colours have been mixed and I'd want her to play with each batch as much as possible before creating more and more separate colours or else it just becomes a waste of rice. 2. I'm guessing that because the hand sanitizer is not edible it would be a bad idea to cook the rice afterwards as a fun culinary experience for the child. But if you use vinegar, can the rice be cooked so that there is no waste?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Hi, thanks for the comment. 1. You can keep the coloured rice as long as you like, unless you notice any growth in the rice, like insects or fungus or whatever. And once it is mixed, it's mixed and i just let my child to play with mixed one and it is still fun for her. 2. If you want to cook and have the coloured rice after playing, i'd just colour it with a little bit of water instead. It won't be as vibrant as using vinegar or alcohol but you can still get similar result and look pretty. Hope this answers your questions. Thanks! 😊

[@KripaNageshwar]

Yes, thank you so much! The cooked rice would be for eating not playing. But coloured cooked rice makes the culinary experience more interesting than plain rice, that's all. That's why I was asking about vinegar vs sanitizer.

[@ricardohs2877]

I think I would go for vinegar, I don't know how I feel about my LO putting the hand sanitizer rice in his mouth

[@cariiinen]

Lovely

[@montenotssori2184]

I actually prefer rubbing alcohol than vinegar too! Cant stand the smell of vinegar

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Same here! 😆

Your video’s are great

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Thank you 😊

[@annabellespoletini5081]

Love this! Can you share where you got the giant magnet? Thank you.

[@hazieandmotherhood]

I got the magnet from Kmart Australia, but if you are not in Australia, I found magnet bars on Amazon. I could not find the giant magnet though.. amzn.to/3MXffH4 It would've been nicer if you could purchase only one, but they come in pack of 6, I don't know why. but hope this helps!!

[@annabellespoletini5081]

@@hazieandmotherhood thank you so much!!!🤍🙏 I love this video so much. Trying out these ideas this week! 😊

[@oliviapan2380]

Hi Hazie, I watch your videos a lot, they are very informative and encouraging, I got very motivated to play with my toddler from watching your videos. I recently got the Ikea play table, just wondering where you got that cute kid's bench from?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

The bench is from a furniture brand called Mocka but they dont sell it anymore 😕

[@Jirgala]

You are working mum? how do find time to do it all with kid and to video and edit and upload it ? That would really help me if you made a video on that, I’m sure lots of mums struggling finding tjme to play with kids too.

[@mikanewell9471]

I love your videos! So simple but so rich! Where do you get your flat sensory bottles?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Thank you 😊 i actually have no clue where that bottles come from, I just used what we had in the cupboard (i don't even know how long they'd been sitting in there). I recommend Voss water bottles (small ones) for sensory bottles. They work perfectly!

[@oliviapan2380]

I saw those flat bottles from Daiso before, it's called a notebook water bottle if I remember correctly

[@racheliedelman6633]

Hi! Can't find the Daiso cups. Any Amazon links?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Hi! These appeared to be almost the same as Daiso ones that I could find in Amazon. Hope it helps! amzn.to/3TmMxSR

[@jasmines.6325]

I hope the colours stick well to brown rice...

[@ninawhitley8959]

I did hear where you got the clear beakers from

[@jooneeable]

After she plays , do you keep all the rice together?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

I did! And we used it over and over again for months until my daughter decided to pour water on it 😂

[@jesystar]

How did you get Alina interested in scooping and pouring? I'm having trouble with an almost 17mo old I take care of.

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Hi, this is one of the things about Montessori, you observe your child and follow their lead rather than giving them what you want them to play. So I simply waited until Alina showed interest in scooping and pouring, until then I just provided her what she was interested in! Hope this helps!! 😉🥰

[@jooneeable]

Can use Plastic cups , instead of Glass Cups ?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Of course!

[@Nobody12399]

I was wondering where did u get the cool table from

[@hazieandmotherhood]

Hi! It's IKEA Flisat table!

Is it necessary to add vinegar

[@user-vi4vb6jv3i]

안녕하세요. 영상 너무 잘 봤습니다. 궁금한 점이 있어서 여쭤보고 싶어요! 쌀 한컵의 그람수를 알 수 있을까요??

[@hazieandmotherhood]

그.. 그람수는..ㅋㅋ 저도 모르죠 ㅋㅋㅋ 그냥 종이컵 한컵이면 된답니다^^ 저도 그냥 눈대중으로 대충 때려넣고 색깔 변하는거 보면서 가감했답니다!

[@user-vi4vb6jv3i]

@@hazieandmotherhood 아아 넵! 답글 감사드려요. 영상보고 저도 곧 해보려고 해요! 좋은 영상 넘 감사드립니다^^

[@luisaelena2890]

Would you say colored rice is better sensory play than kinetic sand?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

I'd say it depends on the child's age. Alina doesn't want to play with rice anymore (i guess she had enough of it 😅 ) and she prefers kinetic sand now. For younger toddlers, you really dont want them to eat kinetic sand so I'd go with rice but as they get older it's really up to the kid whichever the child wants. It's just my opinion.. hope it helps!

[@nikitamahajan5281]

From where can i buy such table

[@hazieandmotherhood]

It's Ikea Flisat table!

[@ummifitri2134]

Why you give hand sanitizer?

[@vabhavi1]

How you reuse the rice at home?

[@hazieandmotherhood]

I just store the rice in a container. But I'd only save the rice that is dry and discard wet or soiled rice.

[@eirinipro1089]

Why you put hand sanitizer in the rice? Can we do it without it?
