Tie-Dye for Kids: Aug. 2, Wednesday, 3 sessions (2:30, 3:00, 3:30)

Don’t miss the tie-dying fun, starting at 2:30pm on Wednesday, August 2! Kids will be able to choose their own colors and tie-dye pattern to create their own personally-designed t-shirt. Sign-up is required:  call the Children’s Room at 781-388-0803 to reserve a spot in one of the sessions and let us know child’s t-shirt size! There will be three sessions to choose from:  2:30, 3:00, and 3:30pm. (The process can get messy, so be sure to wear clothes that won’t mind a possible stain.) This tie-dying activity is appropriate for kids ages 4-10 and will take place on the front lawn of the library.

This program is funded by Preotle, Lane & Associates, Ltd.
