Materials:
- T-Shirt
- Fabric Paint
Instructions:
This project is especially nice for younger children (pre-school and elementary school). You can use the child's hand, arm, fingers, etc. dipped in fabric paint to design a 'garden of flowers' on a t-shirt.
For example, squeeze out enough paint for the child to dip his/her forearm in and imprint on fabric. This will serve as the stem of a flower. Do the same with the child's hand and press the flat hand on top of the "stem" for the flower petals. You can also dip the child's thumb or fingers in the paint to make leaves on the flower stem.
Make any design you choose with these flowers. Then, use the fabric paint to write a caption that reads "Teachers make small things grow". Most fabric paint is sold in squeeze bottles with a tip that is small enough to allow for easy writing on the fabric.
