This archived Art and design scheme of work video introduces teachers to a practical lesson where Key stage 2 pupils create tie dye patterns inspired by their mood boards. It explores how folding and scrunching fabric affects the outcome, with techniques such as concertina folds, spirals, and bunching producing varied results. The video demonstrates each stage, from preparing fabric with elastic bands and applying dye directly from bottles, to leaving it to soak, rinsing, and drying, creating vibrant tie-dyed materials ready for further use.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s original LKS2 Art and design resources. It supports teachers in helping pupils experiment with colour, pattern, and textile techniques, while developing independence and creativity through hands-on processes that link design inspiration to finished fabrics.
