In addition to blogging, I also teach kids arts and craft classes – which means that I’m always on the look for new and interesting projects!
I came across a mention of using Sharpies to create tie-dye effects the other day, so of course I had to look into it 
Apparently, you can write or draw on fabric with a Sharpie, and then drizzle rubbing alcohol over it. The rubbing alcohol causes the ink to run, but because the alcohol evaporates so fast, the shirt dries really fast. After 24 hours you can set the color in a hot dryer, and voila- no dye tie-dye!
I’m not sure if I would do this with 5 year olds, but I think that older kids would have a lot of fun doing this.

This looks like fun! I’m not a kid, but I just might have to try it!
I thought that too Tamara
That looks like a great sunny day craft to have fun with!
