🏠 Home alternatives

Don't have all the materials? No problem.

• Instead of fabric paint → use permanent colored markers, just as durable and easier to control.
• Instead of brushes → use your child's fingers to stamp handprints directly.
• Instead of new pajamas → recycle an old white t-shirt you no longer use.

📋 Step-by-step instructions

1. Wash the pajamas before painting for better paint adhesion.
2. Place cardboard inside to prevent the paint from bleeding through.
3. Decide together what to paint — handprints, the child's name, a special drawing.
4. Apply the paint freely and have fun.
5. Let dry for at least 24 hours before wearing.
6. Set the paint by ironing over a cloth for 30 seconds.

💡 Extra ideas

• Use stencils for perfect shapes if your child is very young.
• Add the child's name or date to make it a permanent keepsake.
• Make matching pajamas for parent and child and take photos together.
