Tying t-shirts

For Field Day, our kids make their own tie dye shirt.  If you remember from last year, it is a whole big process.  Over 1000 shirts are short and labeled with each child's name on it.

On one day the whole school learns how to tie their shirts with rubber bands to make different designs. The fifth graders get lots of instruction on different methods and the Kindergartners get one choice, the throw it up surprise!

Well yesterday was our tying day.  I got to go in and help my kids.

 Sweet pea deciding what she would like to do for her design.
 She ended up with the bulls eye method!

 Ladybug and some of her classmates.
 My little man!  Love the cuddles at school!

Batman and some of his friends.  

Very fun day.  The kids love it.  Chris and I got shirts this year.   So I will be purple with Ladybug and Chris will be yellow with Batman.

In two weeks we dye the shirts!
