Coloring Dinosaurs Shirts

Welcome. Here you will find tshirts with outline designs of dinosaurs. They can be worn as they are, or colored in with fabric paint. If you like doing embroidery, you could even embroider the outlines.

When I was a kid, I loved coloring in the outline designs that were printed on table cloths, and I still have one of them. There are a lot more options now.

Kids love to color, and they also like to feel useful, as do adults. With these fun prehistoric dinosaur shirts, both boys and girls can get in on some coloring fun. Afterwards they will also have a shirt to be proud of that they can wear and or give as a gift.

These tshirts feature three outline drawings of dinosaurs: pteranodon, tyrannosaurus, and a brontosaurus, all pictured on the same shirt. You can select the shirt style and color.

This link will take you to my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.


Happy coloring.

If they're not into coloring in the dinosaurs, this design also looks great, as is, on dark colored shirts.

A fun way to play hangman

Hangman is a spelling game where one person thinks of a word or phrase and draws lines, one for each letter of the word or words. The other player or players takes turns guessing letters; the originator of the word or phrase fills in the correct letters on the drawn lines, as they are guessed, until the word or words are spelled or until someone guesses what the word or phrase is. If the called letter isn't needed in the word or words, the originator draws a body part on the poll, creating a hang man.

The game continues in this fashion until the word or words are guessed or until the stick man is filled in on the hanging poll, whichever occurs first.

My daughter and I played this game one night and went through quite a bit of paper. So I got the idea to create the game on a dry erase board. It was not only fun, we also got to write on a hard surface, which was an added plus. It was also nice to play several games and then erase them.

I thought it would be even more fun, to have a convenient alphabet handy. Then players can readily see which letters have already been called. The word originator draws a line through the called letter in the alphabet line, whether the letter is used in the word or words, or not.

You can order you hangman dry erase board by clicking on the link below, which will take you to my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.com.


The paper PostItNotes is also a fun and portable version. These can be carried along in a purse or tote bag; then you can easily play while waiting for your meal, etc, or just because. This size measures 4 by 3 inches and has two hangman games per page.


A larger hangman notepad 5.5 by 6 inch version can be seen here.

Enjoy.

Art on Products - Runner Watches

Here you will find a variety of watches designed for runners. You can choose from watches by their face design, and watches designed with timing details that runners may want.

Here are some watch designs to celebrate the you and or the runners in your family.

My daughter used to run cross country and really liked it. She was the inspiration for this female runner watch.



One of the local races in our area ran near our house. This design features my silhouette painting of three men running as they were rounding the corner. Most of the runners that day were male. They were the inspiration for this design.
.

Happy running. Are you a runner, or do you have a runner in your family? You can check below for more technical watches for runners.
