The color red...
We have been having a lot of fun doing these projects from Unplug your Kids. This week the project was to something with the color red. I wanted to let the boys choose what they wanted for the art project. They thought that our tye-dyed t-shirts were really fun to make, so they wanted to do that again. They wanted to try and add some more colors in than just red though, so I said that it was fine. Below is pictures of their creations.
This beauty was done by Gabe,
and this one is Sams.We plan on taking the t-shirts, along with others that we have, and stuffing them a little. Then allow the boys to use them as jump pads. Maybe the couch cushions will last longer :) !!

You are braver than I am! Getting out the tie died paints... I'm impressed. :) The shirts turned out great!
I like your thinking on saving the couch cushions. Mine could use a little downtime, too! :)
Jump cushions sounds like a great idea! Very cool shirts!
I like your jump pad idea. My sofa is in a sorry state.
Very nice tie dye. The last time we tried this, much of it faded in the first wash. I think I didn't presoak it correctly.
I agree with Becky: Very brave project this week! As always, thanks for joining in! I look forward to seeing what your boys do with "Box."
I don't think I am ready for tie-die but what a fun idea. I chose something very un-messy this week after 2 weeks of painting.
They did a good job!
wow, those are almost like kaleidoscopes. How'd you do that? They are really nice, they have good eyes for color.
They turned out so nice! I have 4 tie dye kits I got for the children to make up shirts for themselves and the baby I even have packs of shirts waiting to dye but I never got a chance to do it before the baby was born. I LOVE the jump cushions idea! I tried to think of a good thing to use as crash pads when Travis was young this idea would have worked out perfect for that! You are so creative! I think I will need to make some up soon as I get caught up with things here.
