    Were the colorful bowls from anywhere special or just something you already had laying around?

    I think I grabbed them from the kitchen section at our local Walmart. They might still have them. Otherwise I’ve seen similar ones at the dollar store. Either way, you can’t go wrong. Use what you have. Hope that helps!
