This kit offers all the materials you need to create your own designer t-shirt, lab coat, pants, hats, canvas shoes or whatever you like! It looks like tie dye, but it's not messy! Included are detailed instructions and creative ideas for both kids and adults. Finally, chemistry makes a fashion statement!

What's included?

• 6 Sharpie pens (red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple)
• Dropper bottle
• Activity guide

How does it work?

Create a simple design of dots and lines with different colored Sharpie® pens directly on your t-shirt or whatever item you choose. Using a special dropper bottle, drip rubbing alcohol carefully on the design and let chemistry do it's work. The colors explode before your eyes!

What does it teach?

Experiment with the chemistry used to create colorful fabrics, while expressing your creative whims! Learn all about colors and what happens when they mix and run through material fibers.
