my former employer has a bar-b-
que and tie dye party every spring. we were invited to stop by and see everyone. well, bean found out about the tie dying and Oh My Goodness she just HAD to do it. she begged to go, she begged to make a shirt. so at the last minute i searched and found her a t-shirt to dye and we headed out the door.
she listened to the directions on how to tie her shirt...
(notice the strawberry juice all over her face)
and here she is showing us the tied up shirt...
and now adding the dye... magenta! turquoise! purple! :)

she wanted to add more colors but there was no white shirt left to put it on...

and after letting the shirt sit for a couple days we washed it and she HAD to wear it...

i think it turned out great. better than expected actually. thanks to everyone at former work place for including us. bean had a great time!! :)

Bean, you did such a groovy job on that t-shirt! Far out baby, far out!!!
I love the shirt, could just see any 3 year old getting a kick out of that activity.
I'll say! It turned out awesome. I've tie-dyed once in my life, and my attempt didn't come out nearly as cool as Bean's. She's a natural little hippie. :o)
It turned out fabulous! And she looks so sweet modeling it. :)
Your posts have been getting lost in the depths of my feed reader :-( Just realised I hadn't seen much from you so had to pop over and see if everything is ok. What a great activity for kids. I like the idea of putting the dye on with a squeeze bottle. We always did it by dying the light colour first, then over tying etc etc. This looks much better. The final result is brilliant! What a great idea.(Love her look of concentration in that first photo)
