How to turn a paint-ruined shirt into a wearable fruit-inspired artwork. Alternatively, you may like to argue we turned it into an even more paint-ruined shirt. 🙂 Either way, this is a picture based tutorial about painting kids clothes with acrylic paint. It was such a fun kids craft activity for us to increase non-mealtime fruit exposures. Also see my article on why food exposure away from mealtimes is great for fussy eaters.
You Need: Shirt, Fruits, Acrylic Paint, Fine Paint Brush & Sponge for Dabbing
Pin cardboard under stained areas to be covered with artwork
Prepare the area for mess – use drop cloths / sheets
Paint the outlines using acrylic paint and fine brush
Toddler dabs acrylic paint within fruit outlines
Cover up the extra paint that toddler splashed onto shirt with said toddler’s name *insert eye roll emoji*
Note: Dry in the sun before trying to wear it!
