Paint your own cool message on a t-shirt!  A fun kids party idea for both girls and boys of all ages.

All you need is:

• T-shirts
• Fabric Paints or Pens or both
• Paint Brushes and Paint Pallets
• Stencils or Templates (optional)
• Kids with imaginiation

Ask the children coming to your party to wear some old clothes that will be ok to get paint on.  Lay t-shirts out on either a covered and protected table or on the floor.  Put a piece of cardboard (cerial box) inside the t-shirt to keep it stretched flat and also to stop the colours running through to the back.  Decant fabric paint into palettes and space out so everyone can reach one easily.  Apply fabric paint with a brush, sponge or a finger.  Paint usually dries within an hour depending upon thickness applied.  Fabric pens are touch dry immediately. 

Encourage the kids imagination with some pictures to copy, templates printed out to place inside the t-shirt and draw over or provide/make some stencils.

Kids will have so much fun and will be proud of their work once complete.
