Sensory play is beneficial not just for preschoolers, but for children of all ages. Sensory play stimulates the child's five main senses – touch, sight, sound, taste, and smell – as they engage with materials and their environment. Rainbow Rice Sensory Activity, in particular, is a colorful, versatile play opportunity, providing a multisensory experience that's both therapeutic and educational.
Whether you just want to start each day on the right foot, you have a specific issue you are working through or it's 8 am and it's already been a long day... this is an AMAZING protocol!
How to do it:
- Step 1: VALOR
Start with Valor Essential Oil, known for balancing the body’s electrical energy. Apply a few drops in the palm of your left hand, gently rub your palms together in a clockwise motion, and bring your oiled palms to your nose and inhale. Set your intention for the day, utilizing the grounding properties of this blend. Next, put some Valor on the back of your neck and then place another drop on the inside of your wrists and hold your wrist together for a moment. As you hold the pulse points of your wrists together, again breathe in the oil blend and take a moment to be still while affirming your intentions for the day. What state of being would you like to cultivate? What do you want to accomplish today?
- Step 2: HARMONY
Place a drop of Harmony on your left palm, rub your palms together in a clockwise motion, inhaling the oil blend and place some Harmony on your solar plexus, just below your sternum, and above your belly button. This is your third chakra, or your “will” energy center. As you inhale the aroma, use the affirmation, “Let my will harmonize and align to the greater good for all I connect with today.” You may have a specific intention for harmonizing with your customers, your co-workers, family, friends, etc.
- Step 3: JOY
This blend is one of Young Living’s signature essential oils. Place a drop of Joy into your left palm, rub your hands together, and slowly inhale the scent. Then place your hands on your heart. If you are looking to become more open hearted, use these moments to let this blend infuse into your heart’s desire.
- Step 4: White Angelica
This blend is known for its properties for energetic protection, like a bouncer for negative energy or disturbing thoughts. Place a drop of White Angelica in your left palm, rub your palms together and deeply inhale. Then gently brush your palms over the crown of your head, down your neck, shoulders, chest, torso, and all the way down your legs to your feet. Imagine this blend encasing your entire body, like a guardian shield. Again, revisit your intention for your day.
I challenge everyone to try this for a week and see you if feel the difference.

This bird feeder activity was so much fun!
BONUS! We got to go to the pet store to get the bird food so the activity included a fun field trip. Luckily we couldn't stay long because I almost bought a fish!
What you need:
- Card stock
- OR craft rolls
- Masking tape (only if you use card stock)
- Peanut butter
- Bird seed
- Paper plate
- Rubber spatula
If you use the card stock, rolling it into a tube and tape it in place.
I like to use masking tape because the peanut butter sticks to it better than clear tape.
With your rubber spatula, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the paper or on the craft roll.
Pour some bird seed on the paper plate and roller the tube in the seed until it is fully coated.
Pour some bird seed on the paper plate and roller the tube in the seed until it is fully coated.
Head outside to find a branch to hang it on.
Then wait very quietly to see what bird come to eat.
I love this craft because it is so easy to make. You can make this craft several times before having to buy more supplies. And the birds will love you!
If you make this craft, I would love to see it and where you hung yours!
