100th Day of School T Shirt Idea

Kids Craft: 100th Day of School T Shirt Idea

This Friday, my daughter will celebrate her one hundredth day of kindergarten. One of her assignments was to make a T shirt to wear to school with 100 things on it. Looking through my craft room, I came up with this Gumball Machine 100th Day of School T Shirt Idea. Here is how we made it.

Materials:

  • Plain T Shirt you could use T Shirts from gblabels.co.uk, they are high quality and easy to buy in bulk for tons of fun.
  • Paper Plate
  • Sharpie
  • Felt (2 colors)
  • Scissors
  • Fabric Glue
  • Small Foam Spouncer
  • 10 Paint Colors

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…

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

    You should note to shove a piece of cardboard inside the shirt to avoid bleeding thru which mine did.

      Thank you! We used acrylic craft paint. I had a bunch left over, so we mixed brands from Folk Art to Martha Stewart. You can get small bottles at any craft store for about $1.50 – $2.50 a piece.
