Instead of traditional classroom activities, our children and youth have fun community-building and learning activities instead.
For this Sunday (12 June 2016), we will have “Tie-Dye for Dads and Other Special Grown-Ups”!
This is an annual Sunday-Before-Father’s Day tradition — led by Richard Denton (patriarch of the Denton Tie-Dyenasty).
The children and youth can tie-dye shirts, tote bags, bandanas, BBQ aprons, or any 100% cotton items for dads or other special grown-ups in their lives including themselves.
Please note that the dyes we use are permanent. They make beautiful garments, and they can also become a permanent part of the garments you are wearing at the time. Please dress your kids in clothing and shoes that you don’t mind getting splashed with a random bit of dye.
We have old t-shirts available to use as smocks to protect their clothing.
But this is not the Sunday to dress them in that cute outfit you are saving for the family photos to give grandma. And if you’re an adult helping out, that’s good advice for you, too.
Children and youth should bring a 100% cotton white or light-colored t-shirt or other item to tie-dye.
You do not have to buy a new shirt — this is a great way to rejuvenate old or stained t-shirts!
We will have some shirts available in assorted sizes for a $5.00 suggested donation in case you forget. No child will be denied the opportunity to participate, but it’s better if you bring your own garment to assure your preferred size and style.
Coming Next Week (Sunday, 19 June 2016) — Giant Sub Sandwich Lunch for Father’s Day — The children and youth will prepare a giant sub sandwich and other goodies for Dads and all the special grownups of All Souls.
If you have a special craft or project you would like to share with the kids during the summer months, please email Susan Caldwell or call her at 318-465-3427.
