food dying play silks

today we had a go at dying the kids play silks. ive heard of people dying them with food dye but havent heard how.
heres what we tried:
*we put a playsilk in microwave container, added aprox 3 tablespoons vinegar
*add enough food colouring to have a strong colour
*microwave for 4mins, take out and stir
*microwave 3 mins, take out and rinse until water runs clear.

colours came out great but have no idea how many washes they will last. never mind, kids thought in was great fun so im sure they wont mind if we have to dye the again!




weve been having lots of fun with them as capes, blankets, dancing cloths for twirling and swooshing (listening to jack johnson, i luvd it too!) peekaboo, and their favourite is me gentlydrifting it over their heads. and cubby houses (where we all squeeze under 1, cozy fun that gets hysterical laughter)
