14. My facilitation
O I introduced myself to the children.
O I explained the activity was t-shirt design.
O I showed them the materials and a sample
t-shirt I had completed as an example.
O I informed the children it was up to them
to design their t-shirt whatever way they
choose.

15. O I gave each child a plain white t-shirt and
placed cardboard between the t-shirt to
ensure the paint didn’t go through to the
other side.
O I let them know if anyone needed any
assistance I was there to help.
O The children then started designing their t-shirts.
