Check out what teachers are saying about Natural Color Science Lessons👇
"I cannot stress how much I loved this resource. The guided instructions mean the teacher knows exactly what to do, no
matter what their experience level is — I feel most teachers would be able to follow your steps. And the student handouts actually make sense. These were great. I absolutely loved that the whole process follows the scientific method
and lays it out so the students learn the proper method."
— Kim, High School Teacher (Canada)
So easy to understand and follow, I love how you are making these science subjects so easy to understand for us teachers and for our kids. My three homeschoolers loved lesson 1 and they can’t wait to see what happens when we clean the fibers in lesson 2!"
Maria, Home School Teacher (Australia)
"I loved the student worksheets, and how they included the observations that the students should be taking. The scaffolding is excellent for beginning scientists."
Katie, Home School Teacher (USA)
"It’s a very good lesson plan to bring in the arts into the steam or the stem learning curriculum. Most artist are excellent at their craft but cannot deliver information which is easy to understand by teachers. I am so happy to see your work help bridge the gap."
Neha, High School Teacher (USA)
Hello, I'm Victoria
I'm the founder of La Creative Mama, and I've spent more than 20 years working with natural color — as a dyer, a fashion sustainability lecturer, and an educator who has taught thousands of makers online from my home in New Zealand.
Natural Color Science is my first curriculum built specifically for classrooms. I wrote it because natural dyeing is the best hands-on chemistry lesson I know: it's safe, it's beautiful, and students never forget the day they see color emerging from a leaf, a food, a flower...
Every lesson in this curriculum is one I'd be proud to hand to the teacher next door.
FAQ
What ages is this for?
Ages 8–15, with extension activities for older students. Every lesson is written to adapt up or down.
Do I need any dyeing experience?
None at all. Every lesson assumes you've never dyed anything — the teacher notes walk you through each step, with pro tips where it matters.
What materials do I need?
Kitchen-level equipment: a digital scale, a dedicated pot, alum, and fiber. Each lesson pack includes the full materials list well before you need it.
Is it safe for a classroom?
Yes — every flame and mordant step is teacher-led, with complete safety guidance built into every lesson.
