Does anyone know a cheap, ready made source for kids clothes showing shapes or numbers, or iron on patches with shapes/numbers?

I'm trying to make other children reinforcing for my ds as he saw a boy at playgroup with a star on his T-shirt and ALMOST had an interaction with him because of it. I think stickers will be too distracting for him.

TIA

Try ebay I have gotten some great tshirt transfers off there for pennies

You could also use fabric paints through stencils - companies like baker ross, hobbycraft do those.

You can buy special paper on ebay. You print whatever design you want onto it, no special ink required, and then iron it onto t-shirts, etc. Just search 't-shirt transfer paper' prices are from £5.95. I used it to make T-shirts when we were involved in a local campaign, it was easy to do, didn't take long, and is pretty hard wearing, too.

I've just started up a little business making trousers for kids with SN - easy closures, extra room in the bum for nappies, etc. i'm on facebook, just search for MimaPants and I'll see if I can help :)

Bob and Blossom do t-shirts with a child's age on them (1-5 only sadly). Here they are. They are expensive at full price but I usually manage to get them for 99p or thereabouts on eBay.

If the child wearing it looks down at the numbers they see them upside down, and if they look in a mirror they are reversed. Isn't that confusing? Shapes seem like a better idea.
Unless you put the numbers on upside down, which would be a talking point.
