100th Day of School T Shirt Idea

Kids Craft: 100th Day of School T Shirt Idea

Celebrating the one hundredth day of kindergarten is so fun! Some classes ask parents to make a T shirt to wear to school with 100 things on it. Here are two fun 100^th Day of School T Shirt Ideas, 1) Gumball Machine, and 2) Shark Shirt.

100th Day of School Gumball Machine

Materials:

The following materials list has Amazon Affiliate links for recommended products I have used.

• Plain T Shirt (Old Navy, H&M, or Amazon are good resources)
• Paper Plate
• Sharpie
• Felt (2 colors)
• Scissors
• Fabric Glue
• Small Foam Spouncer
• 10 Paint Colors

Instructions:

We found a plain white T Shirt that Mia is almost growing out of to use.

The first thing we did was use a paper plate to trace the globe of the gumball machine with a Sharpie Marker.

Next, I cut out two rectangles (small and large) for the base of the gumball machine, a circle (for the quarter slot), and a knob out of felt. It doesn’t have to be perfect! I just eye balled it. Glue it to the shirt with fabric glue.

Using the paper plate we just traced, I had my daughter pick her first color. You only need a small dab of paint per color on the spouncer. We counted to ten aloud as she gently dabbed 10 yellow gumballs on the shirt.

I only had one spouncer, so I had to clean it after each color and dry it with a paper towel. One by one she chose a color and counted to ten out loud. In between each color we practiced counting by 10’s.

We continued until she had 100 gumballs! Twenty more to go…

Here is a close up of her gumball artwork!

Let the shirt dry overnight. Here is the final result! She can’t wait to wear it on Friday to school.
