These t-shirts put your kid in the director's chair
If your morning routine is anything like ours is, then there's probably a lot of hemming and hawing (that's putting it very politely) about what the kids are willing to wear. Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that we could eliminate all the hassles with the brand new interactive t-shirts I just discovered.

Yes, interactive t-shirts.

These kids' tees from Creative Director Clothing are designed by a Toronto-based artist, and I just happen to have one of his incredible pieces hanging in my living room - the curious among you can catch a glimpse of it behind me on our About page.

Each shirt comes with two or three changeable attachments - fabric pieces that Velcro right onto the shirt - so kids can decide, say, what animal head to stick on the zebra or what kind of cookie to dunk in the glass of milk.

As if the interactive t-shirts themselves weren't cool enough, the designs are printed by hand using water-based ink on organic cotton. And to top it all off, each shirt comes with an info tag that, if planted, will bloom into flowers. The shirts come in sizes 2-6, but larger sizes are likely on the way. Adult sizes, too, I hope.

Maybe now the kids' morning clothing battle will be a thing of the past. Well, unless it's laundry day and you have to try to convince them to wear one of their old, boring, non-interactive shirts. I can't help you there. -Stephanie
