Dry messy play ideas?

I have a specific activity in mind to get one of my under 2s used to messy pay (he hates being mucky). So am thinking dry messy play I know I can use pasta etc but I am looking for good ways to use rainbow rice.

He loves colours so that should encourage him to get involved but I need more than that I think. Am going to use funnels and few jars as he likes pouring.

Is there anything else that I can add to the rice to make it more sensory? I can't think [need to sleep]!

Cereals like rice crispies, cheerios?

Was going to say what boys said, also raisins, hole punch pieces if you have any. I think glitter would also be lovely but if they hate mess, I'd probably steer clear for now and that sticks to EVERYTHING lol.
