Preschool Outdoor Explorers- Natural Dyes 4-27-2010

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:11:37 +0000

Whitney Schmidt lead an exploration of beauty in nature and natural dyes with our youngest “explorers” today!

She talked about beautiful things in nature.

And we dyed strips of cloth using tumeric, mud, black walnut, and beets!

We dyed colorful strips using these dyes.

We braided the strips into necklaces, bracelets, and belts.

We drilled holes in shells and wood slices and used walnut slices to add decorations.

Here are some of the beautiful things that we made!
