Preschool Science Sharpie Tye Die

This experiment allowed the kids to see how the colors would bleed into each other and create patterns. We used:




  • Squares of white cotton fabric

  • Different colored Sharpie markers

  • Plastic cups

  • rubber bands

  • Eye droppers

  • Rubbing Alcohol


Cut square of white fabric, place over a cup and rubber band on.

Color patters, picture and designs with the sharpie marker.

Using an eye dropper, drop alcohol onto drawing and watch the colors grow and change.


Allow to dry.
