NOTE: In below post I originally mentioned using either poster paints or acrylics. I meant to say use acrylic paints or fabric paints, This will not work with the poster paints. Poster paints will wash out. My appologies.
Too tired to write a lengthy post... was awakened at 4:22 am and then unable to fall back asleep. I thought it was going to be a brutally long day. But we had fun and kept busy. We made these great shirts, recycling badly stained polo shirts with paint and an iron. Alexander had a blast. After our art session I finished the mess I started the day before. After taking the kids to get new Webkinz (which might be tomorrow's post) I got started in the kitchen. For dinner we would have Grilled Pork Chops with an Asian American BBQ Sauce, Sweet Basil Rice and Cucumber Salad. Dessert was a Peach Tarte Tatin with Vanilla Ice Cream. It was Ohmygodtodiefor good!
I'm posting this in my bleary eyed state in case any of you wake up looking for something to do in the morning!

To do this you will need:
Various brushes in different sizes
Paints, various colors, acrylic or fabric
Paints, various colors, acrylic or fabric
Stamps, if desired (if you would like to use a stamp but have none on hand try Allie's solution and visit No Time for Flashcards for a complete How To Guide)
Jar with water
Paper towels
Plastic or paper plates to pour and mix paints
Paint what you wish on your shirts (or whatever you are painting). If using a stamp you may need to go over the picture with another coat of paint until you achieve your desired result.
This is a project that will require a good deal of supervision from you, even when working with older children.When you have finished painting set your shirt aside to dry thoroughly. Once the paint is completely dry (you'll have to be vigilant about your younger child not glopping on the paint) Iron the entire shirt with a hot iron. The heat will set the paint in to the shirt, rendering the images permanent.
We are thrilled with the way they all came out. Rebecca's was wonderful too. I accidentally deleted it from here and I am too tired to re-upload it.
Night Night all!
