Gifts Kids Can Make: Running T-shirt



My husband is a runner. Recently as I was folding the laundry I noticed that his running shirts were getting worn out. Luckily his birthday was coming up. Instead of giving him a plain ol' t-shirt I had the boys help me make a special one just for Dad.

I ran to Hobby Lobby and got a few different colors of fabric paint and an alphabet stencil. On the back I painted this (from Dr. Suess's One Fish, Two Fish):



And then for the fun part. Each boy got to pick his own color of paint, dip his foot in and put it on the shirt. The boys thought this was so much fun and couldn't wait to give it to their dad.


And my husband said it's the best present he's ever gotten . . .
