Why this activity? Who doesn’t like paint, jewels and glue and the freedom to express themselves without being told exactly how? Well, this craft does just that, as children get to be little artists decorating their own shirt(s). There are no rules for this craft...just let the child have fun expressing their creativeness. You will be amazed by what children are able to create. Through their design you will also get a sense of how their little minds work. To modify this craft for children under 2 ½ years old you can have children decorate their shirts by doing finger painting and or hand prints...a perfect keepsake craft!
Items you will need: Plain white t-shirt, glue (fabric glue works best), permanent markers, jewels and fabric paint (various colours available, glitter, glow in the dark, metallic etc...).
Where can you buy the items? You can find the t-shirts at any children's clothing store including Zellers, Walmart, The Bay and Sears. Fabric paint and glue can be found at Walmart, Zellers and or any art and craft sore such as Michaels or Deserres.
Suitable ages: 12 months to 12 years old.
***Please note: Younger children will need adult assistance and supervision during this craft!***
