An old shirt gets a new life as a painting canvas

My 4-year old son wanted to make some art, so I gave him an old scruffy shirt and a pair of scissors.

With my guidance, he then carefully cut out the back piece of the shirt.

Then I gave my son a set of bullet tip fabric markers. He first wrote his name, then draw himself, mom, dad and his older brother. 

He also draw our house with few windows, a door and steps upstairs, along with a slide and the sun and some grass and flowers.

Our 2012 season greetings cards – a reconstruction of the above painting – received a warm welcoming from family and friends.
