Wild T-Shirt.

👕 What is it about?

Fill water guns with diluted paint and shoot streams of color onto a white t-shirt spread on the floor or pinned to a wall. Every splash creates a one-of-a-kind design that can never be repeated.

🏠 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 a new t-shirt → recycle an old white t-shirt you no longer use.

📋 Step-by-step instructions

1. Wash the t-shirt before painting for better paint adhesion.
2. Place cardboard inside to prevent the paint from bleeding through.
3. Decide together what to create — 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

• Stamp your child's handprint with the date — you'll see how much they grow over time.
• Make matching t-shirts for parent and child and wear them together.
• Add a short phrase that means something special to both of you.
