Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of hosting a Dash Dye session with my friend Sara and her two wonderfully curious daughters. It was so meaningful to create together as a family, watching them explore colors and self-expression in their unique ways. 🌈
Involving Sara in the process was a powerful reminder of how important it is to learn as a family. It’s one thing to encourage kids to look at their “stains” and choices with fresh eyes, but it’s even more impactful when parents join in, opening themselves up to the same creative, carefree play. Watching Sara engage alongside her daughters, letting them freely choose colors and explore without boundaries, was truly joyful. 💖
The girls had so much fun picking out colors and intuitively spending time with each hue—bright yellows, vibrant pinks, and deep blues. We talked a bit about color harmony, the color wheel, and how colors can blend, but ultimately, they chose what felt right to them. There’s no wrong way to dash dye, and that freedom is such a gift, especially for kids in a world that often tells us what we’re “supposed” to like. 🟡💖🔵
As a hypersensitive, energetic, neurodivergent woman, I empathize deeply with the overstimulating environments schools sometimes offer for creativity. I’ve always found outdoor creation to be more soothing, where kids can connect with the gentle sounds of nature and let the wind join in the art-making. This setting allowed the girls to tune into their own ideas in a way that felt natural and inspiring, giving them space to create freely and intuitively. 🌿🌬️
