92 Awesome Tie-Dye Ideas to Fill Your Summer With Fun

Tie-dying items is a perfect summer activity for kids because it involves creative expression, a little messiness and most times doesn̵7;t require perfection. The countless dye methods produce a huge variety of patterns and designs. Also, it̵7;s easy to find materials, like Kool-Aid, which can be used by kids as young as preschool age. If you want to try tie-dying, simply grab a few buckets, set up a backyard workstation and let one of these 92 tie-dye ideas spark your imagination.

Always remember to supervise your kids throughout the entire tie-dying process. Everyone should wear protective gear, including rubber gloves. Also, tie-dye can get messy, so cover your work area to guard against spills. Read all instructions prior to beginning your tie-dye project and take note of the recommended soaking and rinsing times to ensure the dyes set thoroughly in the garment.

Once you feel comfortable working with tie-dye materials, feel free to experiment with new colors and patterns. It̵7;s possible that you and your kids will come up with the next hot trend in tie-dye fashion!
