Tie Dye Day Results!

The kids were happy to see their shirts we all dyed together yesterday! They really did these mostly by themselves (after a short reminder about the color wheel and a demo by me on Mr. Rude’s shirt) – theĀ  only help most of them had was a reminder to check the bottom of the milk… Continue Reading

Commission Complete
