A few months ago, a friend sent me an idea for a kid friendly way to do tie dye shirts. It was something that sounded like Cassie would enjoy. Since this is best done outside, and Fall is coming, not to mention Cassie will soon be in pre-school, I thought I better have her over before it was too late.
You get cheap squirt guns - I got a pack of 12 from Amazon for $8.99, and you put tie dye color in them. The kids can choose the color they want and squirt them at a shirt.
I used a drying rack and set it up in our driveway. I got a white sweatshirt and clipped it to the rack. Can you see how excited Cassie was to do this?
She's having fun squirting the dye.
Soon she was using two squirt guns at a time. Do you see the dye on the cement? That's why we did it outside!
Here she is, modeling and showing the back of the finished shirt.
And the front! It turned out cute and she was proud of it. When she left she told me thank you and said "Next time we can do another activity that is fun!"
