Decorate the Clothes Worksheet

Let your young fashionistas explore their style with this Decorate the Clothes worksheet! With multiple blank clothing items to design, this printable is perfect for creativity, color, and patterns.

What’s Inside

• Blank outlines of various clothing items (T-shirts, pants, skirt, boots, cap, etc.)

• Ample space for pattern designing, coloring, appliqués, etc.

• Items of different clothing types to encourage variety in design ideas

Why It’s Useful

This worksheet is great for:

• Creative & Artistic Expression — kids can design each item different, experiment with colors, patterns, and mixes.

• Fine Motor Skill Practice — filling in small shapes, decorating edges, staying inside lines.

• Clothing & Style Awareness — talking about what clothes are for what occasions or seasons; what designs are “fashionable” to them.

• Decision Making & Planning — choosing which item to design first, which pattern to use, what color combinations work.

How to Use It

1. Print one copy per child.

2. Start with a discussion: What clothes do you like to wear? What patterns are your favorites: stripes, polka dots, camo, floral, etc.

3. Let kids plan lightly (maybe sketch with pencil) what designs go on each item.

4. Use various art materials: markers, crayons, colored pencils, maybe fabric scraps, stickers if available.

5. (Optional) Extension: Have the children pick a weather or event (rainy day, party, cold weather) and design clothes suited for that scenario.

6. Share designs: children can describe their design choices (why they picked certain patterns / colors).

Designing clothing items combines art, fashion, and imagination in a fun, hands-on way. The Decorate the Clothes worksheet lets children explore pattern, color, style, and see what “fashion” means to them. Grab this printable and watch the designs come alive!
