KIDS CRAFT | DIY SPRAY PAINT T-SHIRTS

Spray Paint Tie Dye! Perfect for little hands! 👚

This year, we are doing summer “camp” at home! I am making themed weeks and routines to help maintain my sanity while school is out!

Every camper needs a camp shirt. Traditional tie dye is difficult for little hands because of the rubber band. Instead, I poured tie dye fabric paint into travel size spray bottles and got to work!

We will be wearing our tie dye on our summer camp “field trips.” (I.e. summer trips to public places like the museum).

Stay tuned for all my summer fun ideas!

💵 Price: cost of all supplies for 3 shirts was about $20. And I have more dye to do more crafts!

Supplies:

📌White shirts or other white fabric

📌Tie Dye Refill packets

📌Travel size spray bottles

📌Stickers, blue tape or plastic letters

All supplies available at @walmartofficial

... Read moreLooking for a fun and creative activity to keep kids engaged this summer? DIY spray paint t-shirts are an excellent choice! Using travel-sized spray bottles makes it easy for children to create their own unique designs without the hassle of traditional tie-dye techniques. Not only is this activity a great way to explore colors and patterns, but it also helps develop fine motor skills as kids spray paint their designs directly onto fabric. To set up this project, start by gathering your supplies. You'll need white t-shirts or any other white fabric, tie-dye refill packets, and travel-sized spray bottles. Adding stickers, blue tape, or plastic letters for stenciling can take the creativity to the next level, allowing kids to create personalized designs. While purchasing supplies, consider shopping at local stores like Walmart, where you can find everything you need at affordable prices. Involving your kids in the preparation and execution of this craft fosters teamwork and allows them to express their individuality. Plus, the end result will be a masterpiece they can wear proudly at summer outings, such as family trips or camps, enhancing their experience with a personal touch. With DIY projects like this, parents not only provide children with a productive way to spend their time, but they also create lasting memories together. So gear up for some colorful summer fun and let your little crafters shine!

This is next-level parenting sorcery! If I’d had this as a kid, I’d be in MoMA right now. Spray paint + tie dye? That’s the chaos magic of summer activities.👚🎨
