Summer is finally here and the schools have now broken up for the holidays. You would think that this would be enough to put smiles on the childrens faces wouldn't you but in an effort to stave off the inevitable "I'm bored" chant, we have been fortunate enough to review the Interplay Fab Lab Festival Tattoo and Tie Dye Sets.

I thought that the teenager would love the festival tattoos as we have done a lot of festival glitter over the past few months but it was the 6 year old that was the biggest fan. They are so easy to apply that I found her cutting out the tattoos herself with the safety scissors provided and simply putting them on her skin, wetting with the sponge and voila, she has a tattoo!

It really is that easy! 

Applying the tattoos to her face obviously need a little more help and assistance but there is no tricky application or fiddly process, you very simply remove the plastic film from the image you select and then put onto your face (or other part of your body). Then wet the sponge provided and apply over the tattoo. It takes less than a minute for the tattoo to transfer onto the skin.

We have found the tattoos to be quite water resistent and some of them have lasted 4-5 days, whereas others were less so but you do need the removal oil to clear them off completely. I just hope that the bottle lasts for all the tattoos that are included!  

The FabLab Festival Face Tattoos retail at £12.99, so is well priced and would make an ideal birthday gift too.

* Easy to apply and easy to remove with the tattoo removal oil provided.

* Also includes glitter tattoos to add sparkle and to customise your look!

* Great fun to do and perfect for festivals, parties and sleepovers!

* Contains no harmful chemicals. Fully tested and 100% non-toxic

The tie dye look has made a triumphant return, (I didn't know it had ever left to be honest) with vibrantly tie-dyed clothes featuring all over the NYFW, Milan and recent fashion show runways.  The FabLab Designer Tie Dye set has ingredients for 5 t-shirts with 4 bright colours. 

This set is suitable for over 8 years of age so I set the teenager and her friend the task of trying it out. I purposefully left them to it and didn't intervene as I wanted to see just how easy it was (and to assess their ability to read instructions). They were delighted at the opportunity to tie dye their old school shirts following the end of term and set to work on creating a master piece.

I have to admit to being a little nervous but they protected the surfaces and themselves as ultimately it does contain chemicals so you need to be safe too. It is important not to let the chemicals to come into contact with any part of the body, particularly the mouth and eyes and to keep small children and animals away from the work area at all times.

The kit kept them busy for well over half an hour and it was great to see them creating and away from their phone screens for a while. (I will update this post with their final creations once they are dry)

The FabLab Designer Tie Dye Set is priced at a really affordable £9.99 and as it will make approx 5 shirts, it is great value for money.

* It is fun and easy to do and the 8 page instruction booklet explains the techniques to get the latest trendy looks.

* The Kit contains 4 dyes in applicator bottles, rubber bands and PVC lab gloves.

The abillity to create doesn't just stop at shirts and tshirts, you could do hats or anything you put your mind to (within reason I guess).
