DIY Artwork T-shirts ~fun activity for the kids
We have been having fun trying to get things marked off our Summer Bucket List. This is the first year we made a bucket list to try and get through during summer. Since my third child arrived, or really before he got here, I have been so all over the place. This is not typical for me. So this list has helped me to stay focused and it gives the kids something to look forward to. So Artwork T-shirts was next. This again is a first for us, as was our wind chimes we made last month. We are doing a few repeat things this year because my oldest really enjoys them. Also these repeats for him are often firsts for little brother. These shirts were easy for both my toddler and preschooler to make and I think they came out great. Now they can both wear their own masterpieces.
What we used:
Marker, painters tape, and t-shirts, that simple!
What to do:
I placed painters tape across the shirts so there would be white space left between the scribbles. This is optional. Set out the shirts on the table and let the kids draw on them. It may have been a good idea to pull them over a piece of cardboard so the marker would not bleed through to the other side. Ours did not bleed through but it could have.
My kids were once given a white t-shirt and a pack of fabric markers as a birthday present… best gift ever!
Love this activity!
I agree – wearable art is awesome. Visiting from Crafty Moms Share.
Great idea – plus the bonus of reusing the older t-shirts!:)
