Tie Dye Day

This tie dye project is our first official Kiki. Moms have met, in the past, to plan and last week we gathered at a park to chat while the kids enjoyed some of summer's last sunshine.

Today we dabbled in the art of tie dye. The kids brought their white and grey shirts. The mamas helped with the tying and the dying. The bottles were filled with colored powder and water, then shaken vigorously. The kids had a good time squirting their rubber-banded shirts or free-handing their visions. Their creations were wrapped tightly in plastic to set and  6-8 hours later, their art was revealed.

The morning concluded with colored hands and smiling faces.
