Hey folks! I don't know about where
you are, but Mother Nature seems to have gotten confused here in
Indiana this year. Usually it's rainy and miserable for the majority
of April. Well, it's been super nice...until the last week. Then we
got crazy amounts of rain and there's more on the way this week! None
of us do very well when cooped up indoors for too long. When
Colortime Crafts and Markers offered to let us try one of
their products out, I knew it would be the perfect rainy day craft!
Colortime Crafts specializes in items,
such as shirts, pillow cases, tote bags, etc., that you can color
yourself! As you can probably guess from their name, they also offer
a colorful array of special fabric markers used for coloring
your items. Colortime Crafts has something for boys and girls alike
and offers items perfect for scouts and summer camp. Regardless of
whether kids are working on their own, wearable works of art with a
group of friends or just chilling at home with family, it's a lot of
fun designing and coloring something you will be able to use for
years to come. And best of all? Everything is affordable!
We recently had the opportunity to try
out one of their shirts. The smallest size I saw available was
a youth small, so I was afraid even that would be too large for my 4
year old (She's my oldest so I'm not really familiar with regular
“kid sizes” yet. ha ha), but it fits perfectly for a comfy shirt!
We didn't get to choose
what color markers we received to try out, but they couldn't have
picked more perfect colors! These three seem to be her fave at the
moment, so that was a pleasant surprise. :) (Don't worry. They have
MANY more colors to choose from online!)
We completed about half of
this on a crummy weather day while the little monster was sleeping.
It was the perfect activity! Plus, I'm pretty sure it relaxed both of
us. It seemed like it helped her calm down. ;)
Even with the large
markers, she didn't seem to have any trouble with them. Also, side
note, even though it is suggested to put something inside the shirt
while coloring (we used a paper grocery bag), the “bleed through”
was very minimal.
This is before and after
washing, respectively. I don't think there's much of a difference, do
you? The marker color is not supposed to fade or bleed at all after
washing. Speaking of which, I like that there is no special prep for
these items. The company actually recommends NOT washing it before
coloring (which is great if you have impatient little ones like me!)
and washing it like regular afterward. I am very much a fan of easy
and not having to “baby” things!
The final product in
action! ;)
