If your kids love coloring, drawing, or coming up with their own creative designs, this Design a Shirt Printable for Kids gives them plenty of ways to get creative!
This printable pack includes 15 different shirt and jersey templates that kids can color, decorate, and turn into their own unique clothing designs. They can create a colorful T-shirt, design a cozy hoodie, make their own sports jersey, or dream up an entirely new fashion look.
These fashion design coloring pages are a simple, screen-free activity for home, classrooms, homeschool, birthday parties, art centers, and more.
Design Your Own Shirt Printable Pack
Instead of giving kids a finished design to color, these printable shirt templates start with a blank canvas. Kids get to decide what their clothing will look like!
They can add:
- Colors and patterns
- Pictures and symbols
- Names and initials
- Numbers
- Team colors
- Stripes and shapes
- Favorite themes
- Their own creative artwork
There really isn’t a wrong way to complete these pages. Kids can keep their designs simple or add as many creative details as they’d like.

Fun Ways to Use the Design a Shirt Printable
There are so many possibilities with these blank shirt templates!
Kids can design a shirt based on a favorite season or holiday, create matching shirts for imaginary teams, make a jersey for their favorite sport, or pretend they’re fashion designers creating a brand-new clothing collection.
You could also give several kids the same shirt template and see how differently everyone designs it.
This makes the activity especially fun for:
- Classroom art centers
- Homeschool art activities
- Birthday parties
- Rainy days
- Quiet-time activities
- After-school activities
- Sports-themed activities
- Fashion design activities for kids
Create Your Own Sports Jersey
The sports jersey pages are especially fun for kids who love athletics.
Let kids choose a team name, number, colors, and logo idea for their jersey. They could recreate the colors of a team they play for or invent an entirely new team.
You can even turn it into a classroom or group activity by asking everyone to design a jersey for the same imaginary team and compare all of the different ideas afterward.
Turn It Into a Fashion Design Activity
These pages can also be used as a simple introduction to fashion design for kids.
Ask kids to think about who would wear their creation. Is it a sports shirt? A winter sweater? A colorful summer tank top? A fancy jacket? What colors, patterns, and details would make their clothing stand out?
Older kids can even create several coordinating designs and turn the pages into their own mini clothing collection.
Supplies You May Want
You don’t need much to get started. Print your favorite pages and provide whatever art supplies you already have available.
Try using:
- Crayons
- Colored pencils
- Markers
- Washable paint
- Stickers
- Dot markers
- Glitter glue
- Other kid-friendly craft supplies
Kids can use one shirt template or work their way through the entire pack.
Practice Creativity and Fine Motor Skills
While kids are busy creating their shirts, they’re also getting extra practice with important fine motor movements.
Coloring, drawing patterns, adding small details, and writing names or numbers all encourage kids to use their hands in different ways.
Most importantly, the open-ended templates give kids room to make their own creative choices instead of trying to make their page look exactly like an example.
Perfect for Home, School, and Parties
One of my favorite things about printable activities is how easy they are to use in different settings.
Print a few pages for a quick afternoon activity at home, add them to your homeschool art plans, place them at a classroom art station, or use the shirt templates as an easy birthday party activity.
For a group activity, print the same template for everyone and let each child create a completely different design.
