Fun for all ages!

I used this kit yesterday with my two year old. Yes, I was nervous at first, but it turned out to be a blast. He loved drawing on the t-shirt and seeing the colors spread and mix together. What a fun tool to teach colors and coloring mixing. Can't wait to use this shirt for field trips. He will stand out in a crowd, that's for sure!

SO FUN!

Okay, I have to admit, when I opened the package it did not look that impressive. But as soon as I started trying it out and attempting different patterns I got hooked! This kit is so engaging and fun, it had me really wondering what starting patterns would produce what results and then testing it. That is thinking like a scientists that even little kids can do! And my shirt was so beautiful when I was done. I totally recommend this kit to everyone.

Life Saving Experiment

I just wanted to let you know that an experiment I got on tye dying with permanent markers saved my beige carpet. I am a second grade teacher and I just started receiving your emails this year...I was home this past weekend...painting my toenails (after a very loooonng winter) and I accidentally spilled some pink nail polish on my beige carpet!!! I was frantic. I tried some nail polish remover, but I didn't have much of it (and it was already tinted) it was in one of those nail polish removing tubs...and I didn't have much luck. Then I remembered the tie dye experiment with markers. I thought if the rubbing alcohol could dissipate the permanent markers, it might work for the nail polish... and TA DA...it worked!! You can't even tell there was a spill. Thank you so much
