Un-Bore Your Kids: Summer Activity #3
tie_dye

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already Tuesday and I’m just getting this week’s “un-bore your kids” feature up.  Summer is flying by.  (Oh right, it’s only July 6th. Maybe I should pace myself or I’ll be burnt out before the first of August.)

This week we’re planning on being very daring at our house and trying tie-dye.

My kids are (almost) 3 and (just) 4 so I don’t know if this is a good idea or not. My husband is, of course, firmly planted on the NOT side of this debate.  But I have always loved to live on the wild side so I am going for it!

I did some research and there are two techniques we’ll be trying. One uses squirt bottles of dye and the other uses submersion in a bath of dye. Checkout that second link from MarthaStewart.com for different patterns to try.

To make this even more fun (and much, much messier) I have invited a couple of my friends and their preschoolers to join us.

Does anyone know how badly fabric dye stains the skin?  Will the kids be normal color again by the time school starts?  Here’s hoping!

So whataya say, are you willing to be daring with me?
