Keeping Summer School "Groovy"

One of my favorite things in this world is tie dye.  I thank the Art of Ed for this lesson.
I loved it. The students loved it. 
I had some students make over 5 designs discovering something new each time.  

I did require each student to make me one that I could keep so we could have a groovy hallway display when school is back in session.  
It'll be rad.



Here's some of my summer tie dye!

  1. I love these, I am a huge fan of tie dye! Will be teaching a Oil Pastel class at our homeschool co-op this fall. May I ask what type of paper did you use?

  2. Love the end result! Just wondering about instructions and steps? Oil pastels an old erasers? Could you elaborate a bit on how you did it? Thanks! :)

    1. We used a 8in squared paper. It's best not to work too large! I showed students a couple of designs, but really it was pretty much up to them to pick the colors they wanted. They won't want to stop making them!

  4. How did you do this ? Did they use water with the oil pastels ?
