 TO DO THIS ACTIVITY YOU WILL NEED

• fabric paint
• plastic squeeze bottles
• squirt guns
• white t-shirts
• cardboard box

DIRECTIONS First, slide a piece of cardboard into your child’s white t-shirt. I grabbed a crushed shipment box from our recycling bin and cut it to size with scissors.


Next, prepare the paint by pouring 3 tablespoons of fabric paint and 1 cup of water into each squeeze bottle. Shake each bottle very well!
Arrange the t-shirts outside on the lawn far away from driveways, buildings, and basically anything you don’t want to be painted. I propped the t-shirts upon shoe boxes, but you could also use logs, an easel, or a cardboard box.


HERE COMES THE FUN PART Next, invite children to pour the paint into their squirt guns. The squeeze bottles make this process super simple, easy, and semi mess-free!
When your child’s squirt gun is out of paint, they can refill with a new color! Be sure to flip the t-shirt over occasionally to make sure both sides get painted.
Note: If squirt guns aren’t your thing, a plastic spray bottle provides a similar effect.
Each t-shirt was as bright and unique as the child who made them!
Allow the shirts to dry completely before washing as directed on the bottle of paint.
