It’s a Draw

Poloppo’s T-Me T-Shirt Design Kit

Your little artist’s creativity knows no bounds: the dinner table, the sofa, and the walls seem to be fair game.

Give her a gentle redirect with Poloppo’s T-Me T-shirt kit. The SF-born company knows what a blooming Basquiat needs to make a wearable work of art.

DIY provisions include paper, markers, and a mail-back envelope. Use the materials to create artwork from scratch or submit a previously completed one. Your tot will be rewarded with a shirt bearing the same magnum opus.

Sizes go from toddler to adult, so you, too, can wear the masterpiece with pride.

Better you than that sofa.
