To help us visualize what 100 objects look like, we are asking that each child decorate a plain t-shirt with 100 items on it. If we have cold weather, we ask that all children wear a long sleeved shirt under their t-shirt so they are more comfortable. Some ideas to use as decorations are stickers, googly eyes, fabric paint, cotton balls, buttons, pom-poms, safety pins, stamps, etc. The lighter weight the item, the easier it is to glue, stick, or attach 100 things to the shirt. We will send more information as we get closer to the date.
