Ok Ladies what is your favorite art apron and where did you get it?
I would love to get more of the ikea ones, I think they are actually bibs, but they don't really hold up to water very well when they get wet.
I have about 1400 to spend from a stipend that I earned.I have already spent 400 of it on a water structure.

I bought some green plastic ones from IKEA that really work.

I bought mine ages ago from the Learning Shop. They're yellow long sleeve nonwoven waterproof stuff that's lighter than vinyl. They say not to wash them, but I throw them in the washer on a rinse and they come clean. They've lasted FOREVER, but I can't find them online on my phone. I'll look again later on the laptop.

Um, the Dollar tree. They usually have them out at spring time or in the dress up section in toys.

I have a DCM that works at Home Depot.
She brings me lots of kid sized aprons.

I had those, but the broke in the wash and they don't protect their long sleeves.

I have the same ones. I love them.
I have a bunch of mens flannel button up shirts (free!). I cut the sleeves short, so they are about 3/4 length on my munchkins.
Put them on the kids backwards and just button the top button.

This is what I do. Obviously, they don't prevent their clothes from getting wet, but I love the ease of throwing them in the washing machine to clean them.

No offense but t $43 a smock I wouldn't even by one for my own child
It would cost me over $600 to get aprons for mu kids
They are cute. Maybe I'm just cheap.

This sounds like a great idea. I can even ask the parents to bring some if they have any.
Otherwise I can probably find some
Thanks for the idea

Nope, you aren't cheap...
I wouldn't spent half that on a smock!
You could buy each of the DCK's a new shirt for after craft time for that kind of money!
I'd stick to old oversized T's, men's shirts, and other less expensive alternatives.
