Monday we had a fun afternoon in art!  The kids hiked a trail and collected cottonwood leaves to create a nice yellow dye for tie dyed silk later this week. The kids were very respectful gathering the leaves and were careful not to damage the trees or take too much.  When they got back to camp, they had a great time processing the leaves into smaller pieces so to soak overnight.  Can't wait to see how our color turns out later this week!

Thank you for the explanation! I heard an excited six year old's descrition of a hike, the leaf gathering, the color yellow and silk... it all makes sense now! Thank you for all you do.
