July Activities

Caribbean Day

Balik (with glue)
Need: white glue, white cotton/poly material (for ex. t-shirt), paint brush, cold water dye (bright colors), sponges

Have children draw a simple picture on a piece of paper. Then give the children a piece of material each. Have the children draw their design onto the material with pencils.

Then have the children outline their draws on the material with glue. The thicker the glue the better. Place in a sunny spot to dry.

When the glue is dry mix up the fabric dye. Use two colors that will blend well as the colors will blend together in some spots (red + blue = purple). Give the children pieces of sponges to apply the dye to their drawings. After the dye has dried peel off the glue.
