I’m a little disappointed that I accidentally delete some of the original step-by-step photos where the kids were doing tie-dying. It was so fun watching them, the joy on their little faces.

And then my daughter wanted to write Happy 4th of July on her shirt. She also wrote and drew some stars on her brother’s shirt. They looked cute.
