Christmas made easy:Preschool Edition


I am not the best at Arts and Crafts but I do like to create memories that surround an activity I do. My signature is "Keep-Sake-T-Shirts". While working at a preschool I tried very hard to come up with inexpensive ways to create a great activity for the students and something fun for me. I came to realize that when I enjoyed the activity so did the students, it seemed like they loved it even more if I did. Here are a few samples of the shirts that the "Butterfly Class" created.

Holiday shirts:
Begin by designing the shirts and allow one side to dry thoroughly before turning over to decorate the other side. Place cardboard inside the T-shirt, in order to keep the fabric paint from seeping through to both sides. Use stencils to create the design and patterns. And always remember, it's better to be simple and safe than over done and ruined!
