Children's DIY paper towels play tie dye

Handmade Materials: Paper towels, rubber bands, and fabric dyes. This fun activity is perfect for kids to explore creativity while learning basic art techniques.

Start by folding or twisting the paper towel and securing it with rubber bands. This step helps create unique patterns when dyeing.

Add drops of fabric dye into a bowl of water. The more concentrated the dye, the bolder the color will be on the paper towel.

Soak the tied paper towel in the dye solution. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the colors to fully absorb.

After dyeing, carefully remove the rubber bands and rinse the paper towel under running water until the water runs clear.

Hang the paper towel to dry. Once dry, you’ll have a colorful, one-of-a-kind creation that can be used as a decorative item or even a gift.

This simple yet engaging craft encourages children to experiment with colors and textures, making it an excellent educational and fun activity for all ages.
