Silkscreening with ALEX toys for Father’s Day!
*Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I received complimentary products to use & review.
We decided to celebrate Father’s day by making some handmade gifts for daddy. Alex Toys has some great Fathers Day gift ideas for preschool aged children and up. We decided to create silk screen ties for daddy using the Alex Toys SilkScreen Factory ($32.95). The Silkscreen Factory includes 14 stencil designs, silk sheets, bright colors of ink, easy instructions plus it comes with a bandanna to get you started. I purchased 2 inexpensive ties for the boys to silkscreen and let each of them choose one. Next they looked at the stencils and decided on the design & color they wanted. I set up the frame and we practiced on a sheet of paper before applying the design directly to the ties. The Alex Toys Silkscreen Factory is recommended for children ages 7+ but the boys were able to complete the craft with assistance. They are very pleased with the Father’s Day ties they made and can’t wait to present them to daddy on Sunday and silkscreen some more!
