Who here still loves Dr. Seuss books? I think his writing is just brilliant, and am pretty sure we own almost every book that he has written! They are my favorite books to read to my kids at bedtime, and were my favorites to read to my students at school (I taught elementarty school for seven years).
So in celebration of Dr. Seuss birthday, and for Love of Raeding Week at school, I created a quick and easy Cat in the Hat t-shirt for my cute kindergartener to wear to school. It literally took me about 15 minutes to make, and cost me a grand total of $2!
Of course this technique can be used to make any kind of t-shirt that you like, whether it be one that your child created and drew, or one that you (or your child) designed on the computer. The process is easy, fast, and very hard to mess up! 😉
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Plain white t-shirt (I bought mine at Jo-Ann for half off with a coupon- can’t beat $2!)
- Iron-On Photo Transfer Sheets
- Scissors
- Iron

Me too- anything Dr. Seuss, and I’m in. Thanks Jessica!

Is there a certain brand of printable iron-on transfer that you prefer? Thanks!
Laura says
Good question Jill! I made these a few years ago so I don’t remember specifically which brand I used, but I think that any of them that you get from the craft store would work well. Just make sure to buy the one for light colors if using for a white or light shirt, or the printable iron-on transfer for dakr clothes if putting on darker colors.
