A couple of summers ago we were headed off to a cottage for a week; two families, each with one child. As we packed, a constant thought was to make sure we had things for the children to do.
I thought it would be fun for the kids to colour and personalize their own t-shirts.
I found some open embroidery images at Embroidery Library and stitched them out on plain white t-shirts.

The children used Tulip Fabric Markers to colour their image. On the sleeve of the t-shirt they also included the month and the year the colouring was done.
Before giving the child a marker, ensure that you put a cardboard panel or something similar in between the layers of fabric to prevent the marker from transferring ink from the front to the back of the t-shirt.

This was a fast and easy way to create a project that the kids could personalize and make their own.
