Instructions

1. Do this activity outdoors.
2. With the children, collect a variety of leaves, twigs, and rocks.
3. Give each child a T-shirt and ask him to lay it flat on the ground.
4. Encourage the children to spread the leaves, twigs, and rocks on their shirts.
5. Spray the shirts with bleach (adult only). Before doing this, make sure the children
are not nearby.
6. The shirts will change colors in a couple minutes, so quickly rinse them in
water to stop the bleach from eating through them.
