T-shirt designing is a really creative and individual craft that kids, teens and adults alike will enjoy. It's a great way to entertain kids for an afternoon, and it's really rewarding as they end up with a great product at the end, all from their own merit.

Just get some plain womens tops, usually best to get them a bit bigger, and some fabric paints, fabric pens, stencils and all sorts to design whatever your heart desires.

If you're feeling adventurous, and depending on the age of the kids, get some beads and buttons and glue or sew them on. Jewels, glitters, fabric shapes and ribbons go down a storm with girls!

It's a great way to get creative, and a nice change from the typical painting and sticking that kids get tired of!

Magnetic paint is one of the hottest trends in decorating your kids’ bedroom. Here’s what makes it so popular.
* Your kid can explore his creative side. Artwork, posters of the favorite band or drawings can be seamlessly applied to the walls—no more tacks, pins and duct tape—but don’t stop here, as sky is the limit. Try a screen projector!
* It saves you money. Cork or bulleting boards tend to cost a lot, much more than a can of magnetic paint.
* Lets your imagination run wild. Who says you have to sit down when you play Monopoly? Try a magnetic wall-mount board, you won’t regret it!
A liter of magnetic paint can cover about two to three square meters of wall, with three or four coats applied. At a price of less than ten pounds per liter, it’s not even a big investment, but your kids will definitely love it. Try to surprise them: have the room painted while they are on camp.
