Wearable Art. And we don't mean paint-covered hands. This easy-to-use kit puts your kid's fave drawing on a T-shirt so he can show off his creativity in too-cute style.

Have you seen these Make Your Own Tee kits by Poloppo? They are fantastic. The kit comes with everything you need: paper, markers, clear instructions, and a pre-paid envelope. You put your little artist to work. Mail in their drawing. And a couple of weeks later you get back an American Apparel t-shirt featuring their masterpiece. I put Oscar to the task the other day. Can't wait to see his custom tee!

Your little artist’s creativity knows no bounds: the dinner table, the sofa, and the walls seem to be fair game. Give her a gentle redirect with Poloppo’s T-Me T-shirt kit. The SF-born company knows what a blooming Basquiat needs to make a wearable work of art. DIY provisions include paper, markers, and a mail-back envelope. Use the materials to create artwork from scratch or submit a previously completed one. Your tot will be rewarded with a shirt bearing the same magnum opus. Sizes go from toddler to adult, so you, too, can wear the masterpiece with pride. Better you than that sofa.

Poloppo is a cool design company focused on getting kids' artwork onto products, and they just moved to Brooklyn from San Francisco. Their Design-Your-Own T-shirt kit is pretty rad: draw a picture using the makers and paper on the convertible easel package, mail it in, and 10 days later get back a shirt with his/her own design on it.

Poloppo.com focuses on turning kids' creativity into giftable items. They use American Apparel t-shirts and transfer kid-crafted designs onto these tees. As they see it, children view the world through a lens that sees life with deep insight, joy and freedom. Poloppo hopes to capture this imagination on a wearable canvas.

Pablo Picasso wrote: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child." Why not tap into the this nascent talent! A T-Me gift ($32.50) contains 10 mini-markers, square paper, a catalog of t-shirts and a pre-paid return envelope. Your child will craft a picture on a square paper, select a t-shirt of their choice (or size appropriately for dad or grandma), and mail it back to Poloppo. Once the artwork is sent to Poloppo in 10 days you'll get your t back. In addition to a shop, they offer an online gallery to share your child's artwork.
