Just please be careful of two things with rice.
If they get it in their sinuses or stomachs, it will take on
moisture and expand. This could cause a problem (note, I did not
say WILL cause a problem, because I don't know), so just be aware.
I use the rice that needs to be cooked, I have had a couple of kids eat the
uncooked rice. it does not expand it comes out of them just like it went in
hard and tiny. I do not allow her to play in the rice any longer because she
does eat it, it took me about a week to figure out what was in her poop. I
even took some to Doc because I could not identify it. He could not either.
LOL anyway it did not expand but I would not recommend allowing them to eat
it. Brenda
