Kids can make their own clothes with this DIY color-your-own dress at ModCloth.
Who knew coloring would have become such a huge trend in 2016?Maybe it's a welcome break from so much screen time or just a way to keep ourselves sane in a crazy year. Because now our girls can even color in their own clothes, with the Christmas-themed Tons of Fun Color-in Dress by Who's Little? for ModCloth. Do you know how much I would have freaked out over a color-your-own coloring book dress when I was a kid? I'm pretty sure my daughter will too.

The dress is made from 100% cotton and the fabric markers it comes with makes it machine washable, although I would hand wash it first, and suggest you please don't dry it because, 100% cotton -- and this is definitely not going to be a wear-it-once kind of dress. I'm sure it will get tons of holiday season play, with the cute snowman and candy canes and big decorated Christmas tree in a Candy Land style landscape.

Of course if you're buying a size 2T, maybe let an older sibling color it in -- or go ahead and do it yourself (we know you want to). Because at $98, a fabulous color-your-own dress is not exactly a disposable purchase if you take issue with a toddler coloring outside the lines. Or, then again, maybe that's exactly what will make it perfect.

You can find the Tons of Fun Color-in Dress by Who's Little for ModCloth now, but it's only available for a limited time. So, hurry! CMP is an rstyle affiliate.
