Within the class I teach, there are some heavy topics we cover throughout the week, and so I have designated Fridays as a "play" day. At the beginning of the semester, I have my students brainstorm ideas where we can have creative fun outlets on our "play" days. This fall, the number one idea written down by every student in my class was to paint. Another popular idea they had was to tie-dye clothes. This was why I then created a cart that reflected these requests. Both ideas are very exciting and have many different directions that can be taken to help my students navigate a path of growth and healing. I was particularly excited about their interest in tie-dying as it gave me an avenue to get my students clothing. Most of these students come from low-income households where purchasing clothing is a luxury unavailable to them, however, they have a hard time receiving handouts, and often times their parents will send things back if given. I thought if I could combine their idea of tie-dye with buying articles of clothing they would think of the gift of clothes as just a part of their classwork instead of a handout.
