From plain to wow: with the Tie-Dye Batik Creative Set from Science4you, little designers turn simple fabrics into unique, colourful works of art. Spirals, stripes or the popular bullseye pattern – no two results are ever the same. Twelve creative activities and a quality fabric bag to decorate make this set the perfect introduction to the colourful world of dyeing.

Tie-dye is more than just crafting: while tying, soaking and rinsing, children discover the fascinating science of colour. Why does the dye spread through the fabric? How do soft gradients and sharp edges form? The included online learning book explains step by step what lies behind the patterns – turning every piece into a little experiment.

The set includes everything for an instant start: vibrant textile dyes, pipettes for precise application, rubber bands for tying, protective gloves, a reusable zip bag for soaking and a fabric bag that becomes the very first project. Tie-dye works best on light natural fibres such as cotton, where the colours stay especially bright and permanent.

Features:

  • Complete tie-dye creative set with 12 activities
  • Includes a fabric bag to design yourself
  • Vibrant, permanent textile dyes
  • Pipettes, rubber bands, gloves and zip bag included
  • Online learning book with instructions and background knowledge
  • STEAM toy: combines creativity with colour science
  • For little fashion designers aged 6 and up

Tips for the best patterns:

  • Spiral: Pinch the fabric in the centre, twist it and divide into segments with rubber bands – dye each segment a different colour.
  • Bullseye: Lift one point and tie the fabric below it several times, then dye from the inside out.
  • Stripes: Fold the fabric like an accordion and tie across.
  • After dyeing, let the fabric rest in the zip bag for a few hours before rinsing – this makes the colours especially intense.
  • Wear old clothes and use a washable surface, because tie-dye is fun but also colourful.
