100 Days of School Help!

What does your son want to put on the shirt? That's what should be on it, mama. It's his project, not yours or ours. Even if it's totally cheesy, it should be his words that are used.

Pennies would be heavy but 100 color printed pennies can be glued on.

Or he can write the dollar sign100 times in different colors. That would be really cute!

Our kids picked their favorite thing and put it on the shirt. Our oldest had 100 K's, the first letter of her name. The middle had 100 baseballs that he drew, and the youngest had 100 footballs, that he colored.

Definitely let your kid do it. But there are so many options out there...whatever your kid likes the most.

Use a "stay in school" slogan for earning power?

How old is your son? How much of this can he do himself, which is the point?

For example - 100 pennies = $1, 100 dollar bills equals the $100 bill, etc. Can he put 100 dots on the shirt with a sharpie or fabric marker? Maybe a pun about "It makes sense to make cents"? (A lot of kids don't think that coins are real money - and that's before the debate about abolishing the penny! - and a lot don't think that paper money is real money. They think a debit card means instant money.)

I would get some pennies from the bank and have him make 10 piles of 10 pennies, then put $1 next to it. Maybe you can take a photo and pin it to the shirt?

If you're wanting to use the $100 bill then I like the ideas of having him write $/100 times or gluing 100 pennies around it (fake of course). You could even get some green felt from the craft store and cut it into rectangles so it looks sort of dollar bill-ish and have him glue on 100 of those. Felt is pretty easy to cut, he can do it with a little help and good scissors.

Otherwise there are some cute ideas using lots of other cheap materials. A lot of the boys in my daughter's class used 100 googly eyes and shaped them into a picture like a smiley face, local college letters, etc.

Bill on O. side, hot glue 100 pennies to the other!
