FAS Dyes

Dye is an extremely versatile art product, which can be used to enhance your classroom displays over all curriculum areas. It can be used successfully with a range of other art products but is particularly successful over crayon and pastel making backgrounds colorful and bright.

It can be managed in the same way as paint using thick and thin brushes with one brush per jar or alternatively a brush per child that can be wiped before using a new color. This will avoid brushes ending up in one jar and spoiling of colors.

Where dyes are being used in small areas and colors are not to be blended a small amount of each dye can be placed in a paint palette and a cotton bud used to apply the dye.
