Get into the school spirit with a DIY 100 days of school t-shirt that gets your little scholar involved! See how to create this custom 100 Days Brighter t-shirt design using a freezer paper stencil, fabric paint and the free SVG file! In New Jersey the 100th day of school is sometime in early February. While Brielle’s kindergarten class didn’t do anything special for the day, I think the first grade does. Creating DIY t-shirts has been a popular pastime in my house, especially now that I have 2 Cricut machines, but I wanted to make something that she could get involved in.

I’m not sure what’s cuter, their way of drawing everyday objects or the way they write their letters, but preserving the current stage of creativity is always a good idea. This Christmas preserve their artwork in the cutest mini form, when making fun and interactive Shrinky Dinks Christmas Ornaments. My parents didn’t have any grandkids and then suddenly they had 5 under 5.
